Nice – Le Mans

Nice were held to a 1‑1 draw at home by Le Mans, leaving the Provençal side still stuck in 18th place with just two points from four matches. Their record of two draws and two defeats means they have scored only once while conceding five, a goal difference that underscores their early-season struggles. Le Mans, meanwhile, moved up to 14th with three points, having failed to win any of their four games but remaining unbeaten in three. The two clubs have met once already this campaign, that encounter also ending in a stalemate, so the point shared at the Allianz Riviera merely extended a pattern of dead‑locked encounters between the sides.
