In a worrying situation following a series of negative results, the GOC Nice was forced to travel to Strasbourg for the twenty-ninth day of Ligue 1. This meeting will be crucial, opposing the Aiglons to a direct opponent in the fight for a European qualification. The Nice team, weakened by a lack of victory for four days, suffered a new home performance against FC Nantes (1-2), resulting in a decline in the standings and a loss of ground in the qualifying race. Six days before the end of the championship, OGC Nice is now in sixth place, facing a crisis of confidence that undermines its European ambitions.

The absence of several key players further complicates the Aiglon mission. Tanguy Ndombele, suffering from pubalgia, is a package for this trip, just like Mohamed Abdelmonem, whose participation remains uncertain due to an injury to the calf. Nevertheless, there are positive developments with the return of Dante and Melvin Bard, suspended on the last day. These returns are expected to strengthen a niçois defensive sector that has shown weaknesses in recent weeks. The RCS Strasbourg, for its part, has an impressive form and occupies fifth place in the championship, two points ahead of Nice, making it a formidable opponent in the race for Europe.

The RC Strasbourg, under the leadership of Liam Rosenior, showed a great consistency, following several victories and draws. Their recent success on the Reims lawn (1-0) reflects their current strength. Team compositions are as follows: RCS Strasbourg: Petrovic, Doué, Sarr, Sylla, Barco, Santos (Captain), Doukuré, Bakwa, Lemaréchal, Nanasi, Emegha. OGC Nice : Bulka, Bombito, Ndayishimiye, Dante (Captain), Claus, Santamaria, Boudaoui, Bard, Cho, Guessand, Boga. This match is therefore a considerable challenge for both sides, each seeking to consolidate its European ambitions.
