This Sunday afternoon, OGC Nice hosts FC Nantes for the 27th day of Ligue 1. After finding their way back to victory in Lens before the international break, the Gym starts the final stretch of the championship. All the pre-match info.
Before this international break, we left the Gym on a positive note. The Aiglons finally managed to find their way back to victory, in Lens (1-3), after a series of five consecutive matches without a win in the championship. OGC Nice is therefore back this weekend. At Allianz Riviera, the Niçois welcome FC Nantes, who are 16th and currently in the relegation playoff spot.
In full crisis, the Canaries are coming off three consecutive defeats in the championship. A coaching change even took place during the break. Arriving just before the first leg in early December, Jocelyn Gourvennec was dismissed. Antoine Kombouaré marks his return to the Nantes bench.
Many absentees in midfield for the Gym
The Nice squad will have several absentees, especially in midfield, for this match. After accumulating yellow cards, Khephren Thuram and Pablo Rosario are suspended. The Gym must also deal with the absences of Sofiane Diop (foot) and Youssouf Ndayishimiye (calf injury recurrence). Hit in the calf against Lens, Morgan Sanson is in a reathletization phase but remains too short for this match.
On the Nantes side, Antoine Kombouaré has to do without Moses Simon. The forward fractured his fibula with Nigeria during the break. His season is already over. Former Nice player Ignatius Ganago and Bastien Meupiyou are also out.
Probable line-ups:
Nice: Bulka – Lotomba, Todibo, Dante, Bard – Louchet, Boudaoui, Claude-Maurice – Cho, Moffi, Boga
Nantes: Lafont – Amian, Castelletto, Cömert, Cozza – Chirivella, Sissoko – Traoré, Mollet, Kadewere – Mohamed
