Ligue 1 action continues with Nice facing off against Strasbourg at Allianz Riviera on Sunday.
Nice's tally of 49 points from 36 games has them in the 9th place in the Ligue 1 table. They have enjoyed mixed form lately, winning two and losing two of their last four games.
Les Aiglons are coming off a 3-2 win over Stade Brestois 29, in a game where they were able to hold on to all three points despite Piere Lees Melou getting sent off in the 52nd minute.
Strasbourg, on the other hand, are still in danger of getting relegated. They are just one point clear of the danger zone and a win on Sunday would certainly calm some nerves in their camp.
