Nice: the probable compositions

Vitinha against Terem Moffi, Igor Tudor against Didier Digard, Olympique de Marseille against OGC Nice in a highly anticipated top-of-the-table poster. Here is the program for this Sunday evening, 8:45 p.m., to close the 22nd day of Ligue 1. A clash between two very fit teams. For their part, OM are indeed on an impressive series of 9 wins in the last 10 matches, in all competitions, but Le Gym are not to be outdone. Winner of three of their last four matches, the Riviera club will try to create a sensation at the Orange Vélodrome.

Dolphins of PSG, the Olympians do not want to ignite but intend, more than ever, to stay on their good momentum before facing the Ile-de-France club at the end of the month. Still in the race for the title, OM will have to do the job against the Aiglons, eighth in the standings and four lengths behind Lille and Lorient, sixth and seventh respectively. An often electric meeting that promises a nice show.

OM with Payet, Vitinha replacing?

For this meeting, Igor Tudor will however once again have to do without the Ivorian Eric Bailly. Suspended 7 games after a dangerous tackle in the Coupe de France, the central defender will indeed miss his 6th match against Nice. Thus, the Croatian technician should opt for a 3-4-3 with Lopez in the Marseille cages. In front of the Spaniard, Mbemba, Gigot and Balerdi should form the hinge. In the middle and well helped by Clauss and Nuno Tavares, on the wings, Rongier and Veretout will once again be associated. Finally, as announced by the Croatian at a press conference, Payet is back in the starting lineup alongside Malinovskyi and Sanchez.

For his part, Didier Digard will have to compose without Nicolas Pépé, Youcef Atal and Marcin Bulka. Hicham Boudaoui, injured in the team’s last match, is also expected to miss. It is therefore in a 5-4-1 that the Azureans should present themselves at the Vélodrome. In front of Schmeichel, the last rampart of Nice, Mendy, Dante, Ndayishimiye, Todibo and Lotomba should form the defense. In midfield, Ramsey, Thuram, Rosario and Diop are expected to start. Just behind Laborde, holder on the front of the attack.
