After a last-minute success in Toulouse (1-2), the Aiglons, still in vital need of points, are hosting the bottom team of the league. A great opportunity to distance themselves securely.
Tonight, the Aiglons aim for a second consecutive victory in the championship, which hasn’t happened for them since September (against Monaco, 4-0 and Rennes, 0-1).
Although Dante, who was sent off at the Stadium, is suspended, the Niçois welcome back Marlon and Alassane Plea, who served their suspensions in the previous matchday.
