🗞️
Team News: Strasbourg
Karol Fila (Cruciate ligament tear) and Lebo Mothiba (Patellar tendon rupture) won’t be playing for Strasbourg manager Patrick Vieira.
It looks as if Le Racing could make use of the 3-4-2-1 formation for the game featuring Alaa Bellaarouch, Saidou Sow, Lucas Perrin, Abakar Sylla, Frédéric Guilbert, Ibrahima Sissoko, Andrey Santos, Thomas Delaine, Dilane Bakwa, Habib Diarra and Kevin Gameiro.
📋
Team News: Nice
In an otherwise healthy group of players, there’s just the one fitness worry for the Nice boss Francesco Farioli to be concerned about. Alexis Beka Beka (depression) misses out for this game.
From our viewpoint, Les Aiglons might play in a 4-3-3 formation, starting Marcin Bulka, Jordan Lotomba, Jean-Clair Todibo, Dante, Melvin Bard, Morgan Sanson, Pablo Rosario, Khéphren Thuram, Mohamed Ali Cho, Terem Moffi and Jeremie Boga.

Prediction
When taking everything into account, Strasbourg could well find it tough to see themselves scoring against this Nice team who we think should manage to get a goal of their own in a winning performance.
We’re therefore anticipating a 0-1 advantage for Nice at the end of the 90 minutes.
Should be interesting.
