Team News Brest
Brest are without Raphael Le Guen (broken fibula). Giovani Versini (knee) and Brendan Chardonnet (calf) are doubts. Mama Balde is a watch: he went off at half-time against Lille with an injury, although Sports Mole still predict him to start — flag as uncertain.
Team News Nice
Nice are without Laurent Abergel (cruciate ligament) and Antoine Mendy (cruciate ligament). Moise Bombito (lower-leg fracture) is a doubt, while Ali Abdi’s involvement is uncertain — which conflicts with the Sports Mole XI below, which starts him (flag as uncertain).
Predicted lineups are via Sports Mole.
Possible Brest XI: (4-2-3-1) Selvik; Lala, Tousart, Lloris, Locko; Chotard, Magnetti; Balde, Doumbia, Mboup; Ajorque.
Possible Nice XI: (3-4-2-1) Diouf; Abdelmonem, Ndayishimiye, Abdi; Clauss, Boudaoui, Witsel, Sanson; Hein, Amoura; Wahi. (Variant reported by africasoccer: Mandza and Nkounkou in, Sanson out — flag.)
