Leaving the team with one point each from the matchup. Ranked fifth following a 1-0 victory over Le Havre thanks to a goal from Jeremie Boga, Nice is also vying for a spot in the Champion League. Nice trails Lille by one point and Brest by four. On the other end of the table, Le Havre continues to struggle just three points above the relegation zone.
