To mark the tenth anniversary of the Allianz Riviera, OGC Nice's media team is bringing you one stat a day about our stadium. Today's feature: the ball in the back of the net! 

Mario Balotelli, Alassane Plea, Amine Gouiri, Hatem Ben Arfa, Andy Delort, Wylan Cyprien... Over the past ten years, the fans at the Allianz Riviera have had the chance to admire some amazing goal-scorers. But how many goals have these sharp-shooters scored in total?

By beating Strasbourg keeper Matz Sels (2-0) on the eve of the return to school, Terem Moffi scored Le Gym's 312th goal at the Allianz Riviera (in 216 official matches), giving the Aiglons an average of 1.44 goals per game.

Which seasons have been the most prolific?

The statistics inevitably confirm the impression left by Lucien Favre's men in 2016-17, as it was the most prolific season with 41 goals for the Gym at the Allianz (in 22 official matches), an average of 1.86 goals per game, all competitions combined. It was also during this period that the ratio of goals scored to goals conceded at home was the highest (+21!).

But then, surprise! It was in 2019-20, the season halted by the Covid pandemic, that OGC Nice had the second-highest average, with 1.82 goals per game (31 in 17 matches). But the goal difference (+9) was less than in 2015-16 (34 goals, +16) or 2021-22 (32, +11).

The lowest average was set in 2018-19, with just 1.09 goals per game, but a positive balance sheet (23 goals for, 19 against). It should be noted that the ratio of goals scored to goals conceded at home was negative only in the 2014-15 season (-3) and in the 2020-21 season, which was played almost entirely behind closed doors (-9).
