Pre-match preview

Brest

Brest have two absences in positions that have recently rotated. Raphaël Le Guen, who started three of the last five matches at centre-back, is out with a broken leg, while Giovani Versini is doubtful due to a leg problem after starting twice in that same spell. Lucas Tousart is expected to start at right-sided centre-back, while Mama Baldé should continue on the right wing after starting there three times and scoring twice in the last five matches.

Pathé Mboup is in line to continue on the left after two goals and an assist across the last five matches, while Ludovic Ajorque should retain the central striking role having also contributed a goal and an assist in that same run.

Nice

A midfield change stands out most for Nice. Hicham Boudaoui made his first start in the last five matches when he played against Lyon, taking over from Djibril Coulibaly, who had started four games in that period but did not play on that occasion. On the right, Gauthier Hein is expected to retain his place after four starts in the last five matches, while Nathan Ngoumou has started once.

Jonathan Clauss, who has a goal and an assist in the same run, should stay on the right side of midfield, while Elye Wahi is likely to lead the line again after two goals in his last five appearances.
