Nice, Recent FormNice manager Didier Digard will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 2-2 draw in his team's last league outing against Nantes. They came away from that fixture with 55% of the possession and clocked up 16 attempts on goal with 8 on target. By comparison, Nantes managed 10 attempts on goal, with 3 on target.
With 12 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, Digard will be very pleased with his team's form going forward, but he will be casting a cautious eye over his defence, who have shipped 4 goals in the same period. Having found the net in 5 of their last 6 matches, they will be pleased that their forward line have found some good and consistent form of late.
There will be mixed feelings from Les Aiglons, although undefeated in their last 9 league games at home, 2 of these games ended in a draw.
Goalscorer Nicolas Pépé will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Nice.
Lorient, Recent FormLast time out, Lorient left content aftera 2-0 home win against Troyes Their share of possession in that meeting was 52%, while racking up 16 shots along the way, 6 of which were on target. Troyes had 9 shots on goal with 2 on target.
They have a modest amount of points to show from their last 6 games, in spite of only conceding 2 goals, because they have failed to be as predictable in their scoring at the other end despite a reasonable 5 goals. Despite winning their last league game there have been some concerning signs recently, with them having failed to score in 4 of their last 6, so the fans will be hoping they have turned a corner. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
They've had a poor run of form on the road recently, losing 3 of their last 6 away games and managing only 1 win.
With 2 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Lorient, Enzo Le Fée will be looking to add more goals against Nice in this match.
