Match Preview

The Eaglets welcome LOSC Lille to the Allianz Riviera on Saturday for this Ligue 1 match. Nice needs to earn three points more than Monaco in the remaining two games to have a shot at a Champions League Qualifier next season. They may also have one eye on Rennes, who are just one point behind them and want to snatch Europa League football from their grasp if they slip up. Lille look set to finish the season comfortably in midtable regardless of the outcome here.

OGC Nice come into the match on a run of six home league games undefeated. They have picked up 12 points from a maximum of 18 from their opening five Ligue 1 matches of the new season.

Le Gym won their last league match at home to AS Saint-Etienne. Expected goals of 1.9 to 1.3 in favour of Saint-Etienne indicates Nice didn't deserve all three points on the balance of chances created. The result was even more impressive considering they were 0-2 down at halftime.

Les Aiglons's Andy Delort was in good form as he scored a brace of goals against Saint-Etienne. Delort now has 13 goals this season in the league for Nice and is 2.38/1 favourite to get on the scoresheet again here. The final score of the match was 4-2.

Their opponent on Saturday, LOSC Lille, come into the match on a run of three away league games without a win. They have picked up four points from a maximum of 18 from their last six Ligue 1 matches.

The Great Danes lost their last league match at home to AS Monaco FC. Expected goals of 1.0 to 0.3 in favour of Lille indicates they were a little unfortunate to get nothing from the match. Former Manchester United man, Angel Gomes, was introduced as a sub and will be disappointed that his first league goal of this season for Lille didn't earn any points for his side. He is 7.5/1 to get on the scoresheet again here. The final score of the match was 1-2.

OGC Nice team news

Flavius Daniliuc also looks set to miss out after collecting his third yellow card in seven games since his previous suspension. Justin Kluivert is walking the suspension tightrope here. After two yellow cards in his last seven games, another here would trigger a suspension for the final game of the season.

Youcef Atal (shoulder injury) and Alexis Claude-Maurice (ankle surgery) will be unavailable for The Eaglets due to injury on Saturday. They are likely to stick with a winning team after beating AS Saint-Etienne in their last league match.

LOSC Lille team news

Benjamin André looks set to miss out after collecting his third yellow card in eight games resulting in a suspension. This will be his fourth separate suspension of the season having previously missed games against PSG, Lorient and Lyon. Les Dogues otherwise have a full squad to select from with no new injuries or further suspensions for the trip to the Allianz Riviera.

Although, they may look to shuffle their deck voluntarily having lost against AS Monaco FC in their last league match. Angel Gomes is most likely to get promoted to the starting eleven after scoring in his cameo appearance.
