NICE, France (Interstat) — A surging Lille side visits an inconsistent Nice in a Ligue 1 clash on Wednesday, Oct. 29, 2025, presenting a stark contrast in form.

Lille (5-2-2) enters the match at Allianz Riviera riding high after a 6-1 demolition of FC Metz on Sunday, a performance that showcased their potent attack. They sit higher in the table than their hosts, having lost just twice in the domestic campaign.

Nice (4-3-2), meanwhile, is buoyed by its own 2-1 comeback victory over Rennes but has struggled for consistency. Their overall record across all competitions this season is a dismal 4-11-3, including a recent upset loss to Spanish minnow AD Ceuta FC in a European competition.

The matchup pits Lille’s momentum against a Nice team desperate for a statement win. Lille’s recent results have been a mixed bag, with a thrilling 4-3 loss to PAOK in Europe preceding their league rout of Metz. They also demonstrated resilience by securing a 1-1 draw with powerhouse PSG earlier this month.

For Nice, the victory over Rennes snapped a frustrating run. Manager Francesco Farioli will hope the win provides a foundation for improved domestic results after a string of disappointing losses both in France and abroad.

According to the Interstat game simulator, the contest is projected to end in a 1-1 draw.

Following this match, Lille prepares for a trip to Angers, while Nice faces a daunting visit to Paris Saint-Germain.
