On the other hand, Nice has struggled significantly on the road, with only three away wins and nine losses this season. They have failed to score in each of their last five games across all competitions, raising concerns about their offensive capabilities. Observers note that both teams have been involved in high-scoring encounters throughout the season, highlighting their offensive strengths but also their defensive weaknesses.
