Nice had a decent form at the first half of this season. However, the later half wasn’t that impressive. Their recordings were mostly inconsistent which resulted in losing the safe zone spot. They are points level with Strasbourg who occupies the fifth spot at present. Therefore, they will still have chances.
Nice recorded a 0-1 win on road against Bordeaux in their most recent league fixture to wove a thread of two subsequent league victories. They will be hoping to extend that thread by sealing another positive display with the aid of home advantage in the upcoming league outing.
Meanwhile, Lille had a disappointing run considering their past season recordings. They were at the top of the league table in the previous season and claimed the title at the end surpassing the French Giants PSG. But they are no where near it this season. They are out of the safe zone race too.



译文(自动翻译仅供参考):

尼斯在本赛季上半段表现不错。然而，后半部分并不是那么令人印象深刻。他们的记录大多是不一致的，这导致失去安全区域点。他们的积分与目前排名第五的斯特拉斯堡持平。因此，他们仍然有机会。
尼斯在最近一场联赛中客场0-1战胜波尔多，并连续两场联赛胜利。他们将希望通过在即将到来的联赛中主场优势的帮助下，封住另一个积极的表现来延长这条线。
同时，考虑到他们上个赛季的记录，里尔的表现令人失望。他们在上个赛季占据了联赛榜首，并在最后超过了法国巨人队巴黎圣日耳曼，夺得了冠军。但在这个季节，他们离这个目标还远着呢。他们也不在安全区比赛。
