Recommended bets
Nice have the third-best away record in Ligue 1 but have had a terrible run lately. Les Aiglons have picked up just two points from their last six Ligue 1 matches on the road, losing each of the last three. They murdered Bordeaux 4-0 in the reverse fixture back in August though and should just have too much quality for them here.
Therefore, 101 Great Goals' prediction for this match is FC Girondins Bordeaux 0-2 OGC Nice and is available at odds of 10/1.
Alternatively, you can bet on any Bordeaux win at 3.8/1 against Les Aiglons at home on Sunday.
Or, back any away win for Nice at 1.9/1 here at the Matmut Atlantique.
You can find odds of 3.6/1 for any draw between Bordeaux and Nice on Sunday.

Match Preview
The Girondins welcome OGC Nice to the Matmut Atlantique on Sunday for this Ligue 1 match. Bordeaux are four points from the Relegation Play-Off place and six from outright safety with just four to play. They can’t afford to drop any more points here. Nice’s recent form has seen them slip out of the Champions League spot in third and the Europa league spot of fourth. They trail Rennes and Monaco by two points and need to win here.
FC Girondins Bordeaux come into the match on a run of three league games without a win. They have picked up five points from a maximum of 18 from their last six Ligue 1 matches.
Le club au scapulaire lost their last league match away to FC Nantes. Expected goals of 2.6 to 2.5 in favour of Bordeaux indicates they were a little unfortunate to get nothing from the match. Les Girondins were awarded a penalty in the final moments of the game with the score delicately balanced at 4-3 but Jimmy Briand failed to score the resulting spot kick for his side. Nantes immediately countered to score and finish off this match. The final score of the match was 5-3.
Hwang Ui-Jo wasn’t amongst the goals for FC Girondins Bordeaux here but remains their top scorer with eleven goals in Ligue 1 this season and is 2.875/1 to score against OGC Nice on Sunday.
Their opponent on Sunday, OGC Nice, come into the match on a run of six away league games without a win and have failed to score in each of their last two on the road. They have picked up seven points from a maximum of 18 from their last six Ligue 1 matches.
The Eaglets won their last league match at home to ESTAC Troyes. Expected goals of 2.4 to 0.5 in favour of Nice indicates it was likely a fair result. Kephren Thuram was the goalscoring hero for Nice in the 93rd minute. He succeeded where Evann Guessand, Justin Kluivert and Andy Delort had all failed and converted a big chance when it came his way. Thuram now has four league goals this season for Nice and is 4.6/1 to get on the scoresheet again here. The final score of the match was 1-0.

FC Girondins Bordeaux team news
Timothée Pembélé (cruciate ligament injury) will be unavailable for The Girondins due to injury on Sunday.
FC Girondins Bordeaux may largely stick with the same side who lost against FC Nantes in their last league match. They were so close to getting the point their performance deserved.
OGC Nice team news
Injuries will rule out Youcef Atal (shoulder injury) and Alexis Claude-Maurice (ankle surgery) for the trip to the Matmut Atlantique.
OGC Nice are unlikely to make any changes to the side that beat ESTAC Troyes in their last league outing. Although Kephren Thuram and Evann Guessand will hope after combining from the bench to conjure up the winning goal, they are rewarded with a promotion to the starting eleven.
