OGC Nice could make just one change to the side that lost to Olympique Lyonnais last weekend, with Alidu Seidu potentially coming in at the expense of Mohamed Abdelmonem.
The performances of Youssouf Ndayishimiye and particularly those of Yehvann Diouf have come under scrutiny in recent weeks. The latter’s performance even prompted sporting director Roger Ricort to come out and defend him this week. However, both are expected to keep their places for the trip to face Stade Brestois tonight.
There could, nonetheless, be a change at the back with Seidu potentially coming in to make his first start since joining from Stade Rennais on loan. Nice remain without Moise Bombito, Antoine Mendy, and Laurent Abergel, all of whom are long-term absentees.
