In search of continuity in their performance, the Nice stadists will head to Albi this Sunday for a match that counts double.
Decisively beaten in the previous round by Massy, the undisputed leader, Albi must get a result to remain in the Top 4.
For the Nice team, it means going to win against a direct competitor for qualification. The victory against Blagnac, achieved with difficulty, encourages them, but they will need a superior performance to return to the coast with four more points in the standings.
Unfortunately, recent away games do not inspire optimism.
Ultimately, it will be two teams with the same ambitions facing off in this top-of-the-table clash.
The (announced) XV of Stade niçois:
15 Slowick, 14 Bureitakiyaca, 13 Delage, 12 Fritz, 11 Zambelli, 10 Verdu, 9 Besseguet, 7 Tachat, 8 Freytes, 6 Suaud, 5 Rey, 4 Astier, 3 Negrotto, 2 Martin, 1 Vola
