Nice will be hoping to get back to winning ways following a draw against Real Sociedad in the Europa League last time out. With a return to domestic action, Les Aiglons will travel to Lens in Ligue 1 on Saturday. 

L’Équipe reports that Franck Haise is set to make four changes to his team who drew against the San Sébastien side in UEFA’s secondary continental competition. The defence is set to remain unchanged with Haise retaining a similar formation, using three centre backs, against his former side. 

At wing-back, Ali Abdi is set to start on the left flank replacing Melvin Bard. In midfield, Tom Louchet should make way for Hicham Boudaoui. Haise should make two changes to his front three. Sofiane Diop should return to start for Les Aiglons and Evan Guessand should replace Youssoufa Moukoko. 

Nice likely XI vs Lens 

Marcin Bułka – Dante, Moïse Bombito, Youssouf Ndayishimiye, – Jonathan Clauss, Hicham Boudaoui, Pablo Rosario, Ali Abdi – Badredine Bouanani, Evan Guessand, Sofiane Diop.
