Le Gym lost their last league match away to RC Lens. Expected goals of 1.4 to 0.8 in favour of Nice indicates they were a little unfortunate to get nothing from the match and certainly didn’t deserve such a one-sided scoreline. Les Aiglons were playing from the 15th minute with a man advantage after a red card for Lens, yet went two goals down just after halftime. The red cards for to Mario Lemina and Dante killed whatever little hope they had of getting back into the game. The final score of the match was 3-0.

OGC Nice team news
Red cards to Mario Lemina and Dante against Lens means Nice will be without the pair for this match due to suspension.
Alexis Claude-Maurice (Ankle Surgery) will also be unavailable for The Eaglets due to injury on Sunday.
FC Lorient team news
Les Merlus have a full squad to select from with no injuries or suspensions for the trip to the Allianz Riviera.
They are unlikely to make any changes to the side that beat AS Saint-Etienne in their last league outing. Although, Quentin Boisgard will be hoping his goalscoring cameo earns him a recall to start in midfield.
