Nice vs Lille

Nice have struggled to find momentum, failing to win any of their six listed matches. Their recent form includes a goalless draw against Lorient and a home draw with Le Mans, followed by a narrow away loss to Auxerre. Over the matches where statistics are available, Yehvann Diouf has recorded nine saves, while Elye Wahi has contributed one goal over the listed matches. In contrast, Lille have secured three wins in their last six matches, including victories over Angers, Toulouse, and Estac Troyes. Their attacking threat is led by Olivier Giroud, who has one goal and two assists over the listed matches, while Berke Özer has made 16 saves in goal. Lille's recent form highlights their efficiency, having scored six goals in the first half across their five matches with available data.

The two sides have played four times in recent history, with one win for each side and two draws. Their most recent meeting in April ended in a goalless draw, while the match at the Allianz Riviera in October 2025 resulted in a victory for Nice.

• Lille's efficiency in front of goal contrasts with Nice, who have scored only one goal in their six listed matches.
• Nice are without A. Mendy, L. Abergel, and M. Bombito, three of the four ruled out.
• Lille are missing H. Igamane and T. Nianzou, both ruled out.
• Lille have been clinical in the first half of their recent matches, scoring six goals in that period.

Lille appear better placed heading into this fixture, having demonstrated a much sharper attacking edge and more consistent results than their hosts. While Nice have been difficult to break down at home in past encounters, their current inability to find the net is a significant concern. The lean rests on Lille's Olivier Giroud, who has one goal and two assists over the listed matches, compared to Nice's Elye Wahi, who has one goal over the listed matches.
