📰 Team News: Nice

Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just the sole fitness concern for the Nice gaffer Christophe Galtier to contend with due to a largely intact squad. Robson Bambu (Ankle Surgery) will miss out.

We think that Les Aiglons will probably make use of the 4-4-2 system for this game, handing starts to Walter Benitez, Jordan Lotomba, Jean-Clair Todibo, Dante, Flavius Daniliuc, Hichem Boudaoui, Pablo Rosario, K. Thuram-Ulien, Andy Delort, Amine Gouiri and Kasper Dolberg.

📋 Team News: Nantes

With a fully healthy squad available to select from, the Nantes manager Antoine Kombouaré has zero fitness concerns whatsoever before this match.

We believe Les Canaris appear most likely to elect for a 4-2-3-1 system using Alban Lafont, Fabio, Abdoulaye Sylla, Andrei Girotto, Quentin Merlin, Samuel Moutoussamy, Pedro Chirivella, Osman Bukari, Ludovic Blas, Willem Geubbels and Randal Kolo Muani.

💭 Prediction

We feel that in this game, Nice will likely get the win and a possible clean sheet when they play Nantes, who will not find it easy scoring a goal of their own.

Accordingly, we see a fairly comfortable 2-0 victory for Nice at full-time.
