Won 2–1 at home to LOSC Lille · Sep 20
That's how they've played so far. Where the model has Nice finishing in May, and the odds on going down, come with a free account.
What the numbers say
Season to date, measured against the rest of the division.
Attack
The chances are not being made
16th of 18 for big chances created, and it shows in the goals. The problem is making them, not taking them.
7
big chances
Attack
Wasteful, not toothless
Scoring about 38% below what their shot volume supports. Finishing that far below the run rate usually corrects.
0.62
goals per expected
Defence
Cutting things out early
6th for interceptions without living on their clearances. That is defending before the danger, not during it.
56
interceptions
Against the rest of the division
Where the squad's season totals sit among the 18 clubs.
