Nice will host Stade Rennais at the Allianz Riviera on Sunday in another round of the 2023-24 Ligue 1 campaign.
The home side have enjoyed a bright start to their league campaign and will fancy themselves early contenders for the league title. They beat Clermont Foot 1-0 in their last match, with Hicham Boudaoui scoring the sole goal of the game in the second half after Gaetan Laborde had previously squandered a penalty kick.
Nice sit atop the Ligue 1 table with 22 points from 10 games. They will be looking to continue their strong run of form when they play this weekend.
Stade Rennais, meanwhile, have struggled for results in the league this season and are falling behind in the race for continental football. They played out a 1-1 draw against Strasbourg last time out and had looked set for a narrow victory before their opponents scored a late equalizer.
The visitors sit eighth in the league table with just 12 points from 10 matches. They will be looking to shake off their latest results and return to winning ways on Sunday.
