One can easily consider that Stade Niçois’s season is one of the best in recent times, however, at this point, their ambitions to be part of the duo that will compete for promotion are more than legitimate.
To achieve this, there is only one path: to defeat the two rival teams, Dijon and Bourgoin, at home and not to make any other missteps against lesser-ranked teams.
And to begin with, they must overcome Dijon, the next visitors to Arboras this Sunday.
The Burgundians, who are 5 points ahead of the team from the Côte d’Azur, are on a streak of 5 victories, including three away wins, while Nice saw their run interrupted by losing to Grasse in the derby.
An air of revenge will hover over Arboras: beaten in the first leg, the people of Nice will want to give Dijon a taste of their own medicine and maintain their invincibility on home ground.
Kick-off at 3 PM.
