Clinical Aiglons Punish Wasteful Nantes
Average Entertainment Futmetrix Score: 54/100. A masterclass in counter-attacking football saw Nice dismantle Nantes despite being dominated in terms of possession and shot volume.
Ruthless Start at the Beaujoire
The match at Stade de la Beaujoire began with a high level of Intensity, but the narrative quickly diverged from the expected script. While Nantes attempted to dictate play, their defensive fragility was exposed early. J. Clauss provided the creative spark, finding M. Cho who finished with surgical precision in the 16th minute. Before the hosts could recalibrate their defensive Balance, Cho struck again, converting a service from M. Sanson. It was a staggering display of efficiency; Nice were capitalising on every inch of space while the home side struggled to turn their territorial advantage into tangible threats. The early two-goal cushion allowed the visitors to sit deep and invite pressure, a tactical trap that Nantes walked into repeatedly.
The Efficiency Gap
As the first half progressed, the discrepancy between the teams became a focal point. Nantes launched an attacking siege, ending the match with 20 total shots, yet they lacked the 'Sniper' quality required in the final third. Against the run of play, S. Diop made it 3-0 in the 40th minute, further highlighting the visitors' lethal transition game. With the Stakes high for a Nantes side hovering near the relegation zone, Mostafa Mohamed managed to pull one back just before the interval, assisted by C. Awaziem. However, even this lifeline felt fragile given how easily Nice were slicing through the Canaries' midfield. The visitors’ ability to absorb pressure and strike on the break turned the pitch into a shooting gallery where only one side was hitting the bullseye.
Sealing the Points
The second period saw Nantes controlled possession (56%) as they desperately searched for a way back into the contest. However, the Upset Factor never truly materialised as the Nice backline held firm. The game was put beyond reach in the final moments when T. Louchet finished a move orchestrated by T. Ndombele to make it 4-1. For Nice, this victory is a vital boost, moving them up to 13th in the standings and providing a blueprint for away performances. For Nantes, the 1-4 scoreline is a bitter pill to swallow—a match where they dominated the stat sheet but were ultimately undone by a lack of composure and a ruthless opponent who needed only six shots to secure four goals.
Key Questions
What made Mohamed-Ali Cho the Man of the Match?
Cho was the definition of clinical, scoring two goals from minimal chances to put Nice in a commanding position before the half-hour mark.
What caused the 5-goal thriller?
The match was defined by Nantes' desperate attacking volume (20 shots) countered by Nice's incredible efficiency, scoring four times from just six attempts.
How is the Futmetrix Score calculated?
The Futmetrix Score (0-100) combines multiple factors: match intensity, competitive balance, stakes importance, and entertainment value to help you decide if this match is worth watching.
Survival Instincts at Stade de la Beaujoire
Skip It Futmetrix Score: 31/100. This clash of struggling defenses promises goals born of errors rather than tactical brilliance.
The Setup
As the second half of the season kicks into gear, Nantes and Nice find themselves in a precarious position. Sitting 16th and 15th respectively, the Stakes for this January 25th encounter could not be higher. Nantes’ home record is a cause for major concern, boasting a dismal 11.1% win rate at Stade de la Beaujoire this season. Their Form has plateaued, mirroring the struggles of a Nice side that has leaked a combined 4.4 goals per game when paired with Nantes' defensive stats. The competitive Balance is razor-thin, as both teams fight to escape the gravitational pull of the bottom three.
Key Battle
The midfield creative burden for the hosts falls on RĂ©my Cabella, whose vision remains vital for Nantes' survival hopes. He faces a direct challenge in keeping pace with the counter-attacking threat of Elye Wahi. As one of the few shining Stars in the recent Nice lineup, Wahi's ability to exploit the gaps in a Nantes backline that concedes nearly two goals per game will be the afternoon's defining narrative.
Our Prediction
We anticipate a 1-2 victory for Nice. While Nantes often finds the net at home, their structural instability at the back is likely to be punished. Expect Elye Wahi to find joy on the break as Nantes pushes forward in desperation, securing three vital points for the visitors in a cagey, error-strewn affair.
Key Questions
Should I watch this match?

Where are Nantes and Nice in the league table?

How is the Futmetrix Score calculated?
