It was an easy choice for today's game.
Monaco Rennes might be interesting too, but the game to follow today is :
Nice-Lens 9PM Paris time
Probable lineups :
Nice : Benitez - Dante, Atal, Bard, Todibo - Lemina, Rosario, Boudaoui - Dolberg, Gouiri, Kluivert
Lens : Leca - Gradit, Clauss, Danso, Wooh - Fofana, Frankowski, Doucouré, Pereira Da Costa - Sotoca, Kalimuendo
Nice has shown very good quality when NOT in control of a game, trying to counter and explode with their speed. They've been in trouble when they have to break down a defense. This is common to all of Galtier's teams.
Lens is similar in that regard but have less trouble breaking down buses. Still they're better in transitions.
So stylistically, this game might end up with two teams not wanting the ball. But Nice is at home and will try to push, which makes them underdogs IMO.
Young players to watch : Bard, Todibo, Boudaoui, Gouiri for Nice, Wooh, Da Costa and Kalimuendo for Lens.
Players to watch because we love football : Seko Fofana and Amine Gouiri again.
