OGC Nice versus Angers: a crucial deadline for Aiglons

OGC Nice receives Angers SCO on Sunday for the 30th day of Ligue 1. The situation is critical for the Niçois, who are in 7th place and only two points from the Top 5. A victory is imperative for the Aiglons, who have not won any of their last five games and are three points from 4th place.

The stakes for the Nice GCO:

After a defeat against Strasbourg (2-2) which had helped to recover, the Nice GOC is in trouble. The lack of success in the championship (without victory since five matches) keeps them away from European places. The absence of several key players, including Boudaoui and Ndayishimiye, further complicates the task. The Canadian international Raolisoa is also unavailable for this meeting.

Probable compositions:

• GOC Nice : Bulka – Abdelmonem, Dante (C), Ndayishimiye, Clauss, Boudaoui, Santamaria, Bard – Guessand, Laborde, Boga
• Angers SCO: Fofana – Raolisoa, Bamba, Lefort, Hanin, Ekomi – Belkhdim, Aholou, Abdelli (C) – Lepaul, El Melali

Angers: a struggle for the maintenance

Conversely, Angers SCO, 14th in the standings, is fighting not to be relegated. The Angevins, who had fallen heavily at home against Nice (1-4) in the all-round match, just chained two games without defeat, notably thanks to the goals of Ahmed Hassan Mahgoub and Issa Soumaré.

Probable compositions:

• Angers SCO: Fofana – Raolisoa, Bamba, Lefort, Hanin, Ekomi – Belkhdim, Aholou, Abdelli (C) – Lepaul, El Melali
• GOC Nice : Bulka – Abdelmonem, Dante (C), Ndayishimiye, Clauss, Boudaoui, Santamaria, Bard – Guessand, Laborde, Boga

Le Havre: a historical opponent

In parallel, Le Havre welcomes the GOC Nice on Sunday for the 22nd day of Ligue 1. The HAC, which achieved a good dynamic with two games without defeat, notably thanks to Ahmed Hassan Mahgoub and Issa Soumaré, represents a historic opponent for the Aiglons, who won only once in Le Havre in Ligue 1. Nice will have to do without Boudaouiet, Ndayishimiye, Moffi, Rosario and Samson.

Probable compositions:

• Le Havre : Gorgelin – Nego, Singanté, Lloris, Zouaoui – Diawara, Mwanga, Kechta – Casimir, Hassan, Soumaré
• GOC Nice : Bulka – Abdelmonem, Bombito, Dante – Clauses, Santamaria, Ndombélé, Bard – Guessand, Laborde, Cho

The game will be broadcast from 5:15 pm on DAZN.
