Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-1
OGC Nice
Nice will be looking to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Reims when they take on Caen at Stade Michel d’Ornano on Saturday evening. Key attacker Mario Balotelli did not play in the opening match of the season, but Super Mario is likely to return to the starting XI against Caen. Les Aiglons are eager to grab something from Saturday’s football match, but beating Caen on the road is easier said than done. Fabien Mercadal’s men suffered a 3-0 loss to PSG at Parc des Princes in their opener, but they are definitely capable of making life difficult for Nice in front of home fans. A close encounter is on the cards and we predict the two teams are going to share the spoils at Stade Michel d’Ornano. You should know that the two teams played out a 1-1 draw in their last meeting in Caen.
