This Sunday, OGC Nice travels to Strasbourg as part of the 31st matchday of Ligue 1. With four games left in the season, a victory is crucial in the race for European qualification. All pre-match information can be found here.
Give your all to avoid regrets. With its last four matches to play, the Gym enters the final stretch of the championship. The main challenge will be securing European qualification, a primary goal for the red and black season. The Aiglons are coming off a frustrating draw (2-2) on Wednesday, during the Mediterranean derby. This Sunday, the team from Nice is on the road again, at the Meinau, to face Strasbourg. The kickoff is at 3 PM.
Led by former Gym coach Patrick Vieira, RC Strasbourg holds the 13th position in the championship. The Alsatians have eight points over the relegation zone. Their safety is not yet mathematically secured. In the first leg, the team from Nice won (2-0), thanks to goals from Youcef Atal and Terem Moffi, at the Allianz Riviera.
The group remains unchanged
Except for long-term injuries (Sofiane Diop and Valentin Rosier), Francesco Farioli can rely on his entire squad. After missing the game at the Vélodrome, Jordan Lotomba will return for this trip. “I will make my choices tomorrow (Saturday). It is possible that the team remains the same as in Marseille or that there are changes,” the Nice coach warned in the pre-match press conference.
On the Strasbourg side, Patrick Vieira also counts on almost his entire roster. The French manager has to deal with long-term absentees, Angelo Gabriel (tendon) and Lebo Mothiba (leg).
Probable lineups:
Strasbourg: Bellarouch – Sylla, Perrin, Sow – Delaine, Andrey Santos, Sissoko, Guilbert – Diarra, Gameiro, Bakwa
Nice: Bulka – Bard, Dante, Todibo, Lotomba – Thuram, Rosario, Sanson – Boga, Moffi, Cho
