OGC Nice and Lille are set to clash at the Allianz Riviera this Sunday for the 23rd round of Ligue 1. However, Lille’s journey has hit a snag. The Mastiffs, coming off a draw against Rennes in their last home match, find themselves in a rut with four consecutive winless outings in the league. Adding to their woes, René Girard’s side will be without the services of Franck Béria for the upcoming fixture, as the defender is sidelined due to injury, specifically a collarbone injury.
Once comfortably stationed on the podium, Lille’s momentum has stalled. Even the reliable Vincent Enyeama has shown signs of vulnerability, and the defense has been breached in their last six Ligue 1 fixtures. With four winless matches in the league, Lille has watched the leading duo pull away while their closest rivals close in on them.
