OGC Nice will welcome Troyes to the Allianz Riviera for a matchday 34 fixture in Ligue 1 on Sunday.
The hosts come into the game off a 1-0 defeat to Monaco last weekend. Aleksandr Golovin's strike in first-half injury time proved to be the difference between the two teams.
Troyes, meanwhile, also suffered a defeat by the same scoreline against Clermont on home turf. Mohamed Bayo found the back of the net with two minutes to go to help his team edge the relegation six-pointer.
The defeat has left ESTAC in 16th spot in the standinga, having garnered 33 points from as many gamea. Nice, meanwhile, are in sixth position, two points away from securing qualification for the UEFA Champions League.

Nice vs Troyes Prediction
Nice are still in the hunt for European qualification, although their recent poor form has left them playing catch-up.
Troyes, meanwhile, are narrowly above the drop zone and need to squeeze out as many points as possible before the end of the season to extend their stay in the top flight.
Nice's strong home form makes them as favourites, but they will have to be wary of the attacking threat posed by Troyes. Nevertheless, the hosts should claim a narrow victory, with goals to be scored at both ends.
