Nice – Rennes preview: Latest form, news, and potential lineups
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for this duel, including our predicted Nice vs Rennes lineups.
Nice
Nice recorded their fourth 1-0 win in 5 last weekend when edging strugglers Clermont away from home. Once again, an excellent defensive showing and just enough effort in attack proved enough to keep Nice at the top of the standings. Boudaoui scored the winner with time running out.
With only 2 points dropped in the last 5 rounds and clean sheets kept in 7 of the last 8 Ligue 1 matches Nice are riding very high on confidence. That said the inability to score goals saw Nice held to draws in 3 of their 5 home games so far this season.
Star strikers Moffi and Laborde are under increasing pressure, both haven’t scored in the last 5 rounds despite starting all of those games. Laborde missed a penalty last weekend.
Full-back Atal won’t play as he has been frozen due to ‘inappropriate’ social media posts. Beka Beka is the only injury issue.
Predicted Lineup:
Bulka (GK), Lotomba, Todibo, Dante, Bard, Boudaoui, Ndayishimiye, Rosario, Laborde, Moffi & Guessand
Rennes
Rennes only managed a 1-1 home draw vs Strasbourg last weekend. It was the wastefulness in front of the goal that prevented the Terriers from winning their first league match since early October (D1 L2).
Rennes are also yet to record a league win on the road this season (D3 L1). They kept clean sheets in 2 of their last 3 away games though and earned 0-0 draws.
Playmaker Le Fee nurses an injury that is likely to keep him out.
Predicted Lineup:
Mandanda (GK), Assignon, Omari, Theate, Truffert, Bourigeaud, Matic, Blas, Doue, Kalimuendo & Gouiri
Starting Lineups
The teams usually announce their starting lineups one hour before the start of the game.

Player to Watch: Dante
Nice have by far the best defensive record in the league and they have kept 5 consecutive clean sheets. A huge reason for that is the 40-year-old centre-back Dante. despite his age, Dante has started every game so far and his experience makes him a hugely effective defender.
Dante is certainly a player worth watching as his standard of play means that Nice can always rely on a clean sheet even if they don't play particularly well in attack.
