Lille is hoping to win their upcoming match against Nice, following their 1-2 Ligue 1 win against Nantes. In that game, Lille had 71% possession and 12 shots at goal, with Jonathan David scoring for them. However, Lille has not kept a clean sheet in recent times, having been scored against in five of their last six clashes and not beaten Nice in their last three league games.

Nice, after a defeat against Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1, is now aiming to make amends. In their last game, Nice managed 36% possession and 12 shots at goal, with Mohamed-Ali Cho scoring for Nice. In their six recent matches, Nice has fired home 10 times, with a goals scored per game average of 1.67. They have also been undefeated by Lille in their last two league matches and have not been beaten in their last four away matches.

Lille and Nice have won two of their recent head-to-head meetings, with three draws. They shared 16 goals, with 7 for LOSC and 9 for Les Aiglons, resulting in an average goal per game of 2.67. The previous match was a Ligue 1 match on 11/08/2023, with Nice having 40% possession and 8 shots at goal, while Lille had 12 shots and 5 on target. The match was refereed by Benoît Bastien.

The selection process for the LOSC match is tense, with only Lille gaffer Paulo Fonseca being a concern. Samuel Umtiti is out of contention due to knee surgery. The team is expected to use a 4-2-3-1 system.

Nice manager Francesco Farioli has a limited squad due to injuries and depression. Les Aiglons is likely to use a 4-3-3 formation with a starting lineup of Marcin Bulka, Antoine Mendy, Jean-Clair Todibo, Dante, Melvin Bard, Morgan Sanson, Y. Ndayishimiye, K. Thuram-Ulien, Mohamed-Ali Cho, Terem Moffi, and Jeremie Boga.
