Football: On Sunday at 6 PM, OGC Nice will host Olympique de Marseille at their favorite stadium, the Ray. The Olympians are in second place but have just suffered two heavy defeats, 4-1 against Lyon in the league and against Saint Etienne in the League Cup. The Eagles are 17th after a bitter defeat at Rennes with officiating contested by the Azurian leaders. For this match, 13,000 tickets have already been sold. Ivorian Taiwo and Nigerian Oruma will be suspended for Marseille and Cédric Varrault for the Eagles.
Rugby: On Sunday at 3 PM at the Stade des Arboras, Rugby Nice Côte d’Azur will host Chatôrange in Pool 4 of Federal 2. Just like their soccer friends, a victory is imperative. After two victories in the first two rounds, the Azurians are on a streak of three consecutive defeats. Chatôrange is fifth, one point ahead of Olivier Achaintre’s men. Let’s remind that free tickets are available at Carrefour Lingostière until Friday evening.
Volleyball: Nice, second to last and with no victories on the board after seven rounds, will host Montpellier, currently 7th, on Friday at 8 PM. Here too, a victory is crucial to finally launch the NVB volleyball season, who live in the shadow of their Cannes neighbors.
Basketball: The Cavigal ladies are also in search of their first victory after four rounds. They will undertake a perilous journey to Bourges in the Cher to hope for an unexpected feat on Sunday.
