In a weekend match in week 23, on Friday Feb 10th, Nice will host Ajaccio in a clash of these two extremely mismatched Ligue 1 teams. Nice is fresh off their 3-1 win against Olympique Marseille. Sofiane Diop struck first for Nice in the 38th minute, then Gaëtan Laborde added another in the 44th minute. Nice should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 21 points in their last 10 matches, while ajaccio is fresh off their 0-2 loss against Nantes. Evann Guessand struck first for Nantes in the 64th minute on a feed from Samuel Moutoussamy, then Ludovic Blas added another in the 89th minute on a penalty kick In the end, Ajaccio couldn’t muster any offence and Nantes ran away with the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 6 of their last 10.
In their last match on Sep 11th, Nice won by a score of 1 to 0 in front of just over seven thousand spectators. Andy Delort struck first for Nice in the 65th minute, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Ajaccio was frustrated by Nice’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Nice ended the match with the shutout victory.
Youcef Belaïli and El Idrissy are the top scorers for Ajaccio in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal.. Nice’s most prolific scorer has been Gaëtan Laborde. The French attacker has netted three goals over the last 5 matches
Nice will be without Nicolas Pépé, Youcef Atal and Marcin Bułka, while Olivier Pantaloni’s squad will be without Youssouf Koné, Romain Hamouma, Yoann Touzghar and Fernand Mayembo.
