Strasbourg – Nice

Strasbourg host Nice in what promises to be a decisive clash in the lower half of the table, with the home side sitting sixth on seven points after two wins, a draw and a loss, and a narrow 9‑8 goal difference. Nice, languishing eighteenth with just two points from four games and a 1‑5 deficit on the scoresheet, will be desperate to snap their winless run. The two teams have already met twice this season, each game ending in a stalemate, so both sides will be keen to break the dead‑lock. A victory for Strasbourg could solidify their push for a top‑four finish, while a point for Nice would be a vital step toward climbing out of the relegation zone.
