Nice vs Caen
French Ligue 1
Date: Saturday, 10th March, 2017
Kick off at 18:00 UK Time
Venue: Allianz Riviera, Nice.
Three wins in a row and 13 points from their last 15 available has meant that Nice have remained in the hunt for the Ligue 1 title. Goals have dried up as three of their recent victories have ended 1-0 but the team has also been working on defence where they have conceded 21 goals all season. Only PSG have a better record.
Nice and PSG also share the record of being the only teams undefeated at home this season. From a possible 42 points at home, Nice has 36, and they would be the 2nd best team in Ligue 1 at home just one point behind Monaco.
Caen are in 14th place and on 31 points are just four from safety, the club will not feel relaxed until they get at least 3 more wins under their belt. Recent wins over Nancy and St Etienne were a step in the right direction but they lost last weekend over Angers in a five goal thriller at home.
On the road Caen has won just 2 games all season but the encouraging thing is those two wins have come in their last 3 away games. Indeed they have lost just once away in their last four games.
