Stade Nyonnais and Étoile Carouge are set to face off in an intriguing Challenge League encounter at Centre sportif de Colovray on March 7, 2025, at 18:30 UTC. With the visitors favored at 1.91 odds, the hosts will be looking to defy expectations once again—just like they did in their shock win over FC Thun last week.

The odds paint a clear picture: Étoile Carouge are the stronger side on paper. Their market value of €4.32m slightly edges out Stade Nyonnais’ €4.20m, and their last head-to-head clash in September saw them claim a 4-2 victory. However, the home team has shown they can punch above their weight, and with home teams winning 43.1% of Challenge League matches historically, there’s reason to believe an upset is possible.

Our AI model predicts a 2-1 win for Stade Nyonnais, with a bold half-time scoreline of 2-0. While this goes against the odds, it’s worth noting that the home side has momentum after their recent upset win. The 1x2 market prediction leans towards a home victory with a confidence rating of 2.0—not the strongest endorsement, but certainly not one to ignore.

For those looking at the goal markets, the best tip from NerdyTips is Under 3.5 goals at odds of 1.41, with a confidence rating of 3.6/10. While 56.9% of Challenge League matches feature over 2.5 goals, only 35.8% exceed the 3.5-goal mark, making this a reasonable pick.

So, will Stade Nyonnais pull off another surprise, or will Étoile Carouge live up to their favorite status? With history, form, and AI predictions all offering mixed signals, this one promises to be a fascinating watch!
