On the attack

Which makes it the 3rd elite attack behind Paris (46 goals) and Marseille (39). 20 of these red and black achievements were registered during the 1st act, only Paris does better (21). Furthermore, Ali Abdi's goal late in the match against Reims was Nice's 100th shot on target in Ligue 1 this season, only Paris has more in 2024/25 (151).
- For its part, Lille have scored at least one goal in each of their last 33 home matches in Ligue 1, the longest current streak in the 5 major European championships. And shook the opposing nets 26 times in L1 2024-25 (7th total).
