Team News

Nice
Nantes
  • Marcin Bulka has been Les Aiglons' cup goalkeeper, and should keep his place here.
  • Morgan Schneiderlin is fit again, but is unlikely to feature from the off.
  • With Youcef Atal and Alexis Claude-Maurice out, Christophe Galtier should field a strong XI here.
  • Perdo Chrivella is fit again after featuring in the draw away to Lens.
  • Nantes will recover the suspended trio of Ludovic Blas, Andrei Girotto, and Fábio.
  • Alban Lafont is expected to start in goal, rather than reserve Rémy Descamps.
  • Wylan Cyprien is also in contention in central midfield for Les Canaris.

Prediction

  • The immovable object against the immovable object? Both of these sides have shown flashes of attacking ambition this season, but have made a solid defence a better part of their calling card in reaching this match, and this one could have a rather attritional feeling to it.
  • Nice may look to have the edge in the likes of Delort and Gouiri, but don't underestimate Nantes' skill at playing on the counter -- Moses Simon and Randal Kolo Muani are a tall order for any defence.
