Nice
is stopped. After a splendid period at the start of the year, the Riviera club only collected a small point on its last three outings in Ligue 1.
Beaten by Olympique Lyonnais (0-2) and AS Monaco (1-2) in the derby, the gym had also conceded a frustrating draw against AJ Auxerre (1-1). So many poor performance that made Franck Haise's team lose ground in the race for Europe.
A response from the Niçois is therefore expected for the reception of FC Nantes, this Friday, at the opening of the 28th day of Ligue 1 (kick -off at 8:45 p.m.). With which starting eleven? Franck Haise will have to make strong choices since he approaches this meeting with a still diminished workforce.
Nice: 2 huge absences against Nantes
Nice will indeed have to do without his captain and defense leader, Dante. The Brazilian experienced is suspended following its red card received in the Azurean derby against Monaco last Saturday. NDAYISHIMIYE, BOMBITO and Abdelmonem could compose the defense three of the Aiglons.
Another brand absent: Melvin Bard. The piston must serve two suspension games after its expulsion against Auxerre for a dangerous gesture. Abdi should replace it on the left side, Clauss holding his place on the right. For the rest, the Tandem Santamaria-Boudaoui is expected in the middle, behind an offensive trio which should consist of Guessand, Cho and Boga.
The expected composition for Nice : Bulka – Ndayishimiye, Bombito, Abdelmonem – Clauss, Santamaria, Boudaoui, Abdi – Guessand, Cho, Boga.
