On Saturday night, in form Nice travels to the Stade de la Beaujoire to take on Nantes in Ligue One.
The home team heads into this clash in poor form after a 0-0 home draw against Le Havre last time out.

The draw means they are winless in four Ligue One games, although the game at least ended a three-game losing streak for Pierre Aristouy’s team.
The poor recent run of form may have Nantes glancing over their shoulders at the relegation play-off spot, as they are only four points above the league's bottom three.
A lack of goals has been one of Nantes' most significant issues of late in the French top flight, as they have failed to score in three of their last four games in Ligue One.
An unconvincing home record has not helped their cause either, as they have recorded just two wins in their previous seven home games in Ligue One.
The visitors are enjoying a stellar campaign in the French top flight this season, as they currently sit second in the table, just a point shy of league leaders and dominant force PSG.
A 1-0 home win over Toulouse means that Francesco Farioli’s team are unbeaten in 16 Ligue One games dating back to last season.
Nice’s defence has been like a break wall of late, as the visitors haven’t conceded a goal in the French top-flight in their last eight outings.
The solid defensive displays have contributed to the previous eight matches in Ligue One producing under 2.5 goals.
Nice have been strong travellers in recent months, as they are unbeaten in seven away games in Ligue One, having recorded five wins and two draws.
Forebet predicts that Nice will continue their recent strong form by recording a victory in another low-scoring encounter.
