Didier Digard, the manager of Nice, will be appreciative that his team is totally injury-free going into this game and that he doesn’t have to worry about their fitness at all.
With Kasper Schmeichel, Jordan Lotomba, Dante, Jean-Clair Todibo, Melvin Bard, K. Thuram-Ulien, Alexis Beka Beka, Hichem Boudaoui, Bilal Brahimi, Gatan Laborde, and Ross Barkley, we anticipate Les Aiglons to line up in a 4-3-3 configuration for this match.
Régis Le Bris, the manager of FC Lorient, must make a selection from a group that has some health issues. The names Yvon Mvogo and Julien Laporte won’t be on the squad sheet because of their patella problems and respective knee surgeries.
According to our estimates, Les Merlus might opt to start Vito Mannone, Igor Silva, Bamo Meté, Montassar Talbi, Vincent Le Goff, Laurent Abergel, Jean-Victor Makengo, Romain Faivre, Enzo Le Fée, Théo Le Bris, and Ahmadou Bamba Dieng in a 4-2-3-1 formation.
All things considered, FC Lorient will probably have enough opportunities to score against this Nice team, though perhaps not quite as many as they’ll give up.
