RC Lens welcomes OGC Nice this Saturday as part of the 6th day of Ligue 1 (5 p.m., to follow live on Lensois.com and broadcast in full on DAZN). The Sang et Or will try to remain undefeated this season, but also to beat a dark beast who has not lost to Bollaert for two seasons.
Will Still still has to do without Kevin Danso (medical tests). Note that many players have withdrawn from this meeting : Neil El Aynaoui (quadriceps), Hamzat Ojediran (ischio), Jimmy Cabot (knee) and Hervé Koffi (psoas). If for the last two, they did not claim a starting place for this match; on the other hand, it is a hard blow for El Aynaoui who was back from injury, but also for Ojediran, author of a big comeback in Rennes.
If he was uncertain for the match, striker Florian Sotoca is in the group. His condition could encourage Will Still to try to establish M’Bala Nzola, author of a decisive entry in Rennes. Not summoned to Brittany, Nampalys Mendy and David Pereira Da Costa are back. Denis Petric will take on the role of understudy in Koffi’s absence. Martin Satriano, absent in Brittany, is applying for a place and played half-time with the reserve on Thursday. On the Nice side, Franck Haise must do without Bard, Sanson, Laborde and Moffi are out. On the other hand, the presence in the group (not communicated at this time) of Boga and Cho, injured in recent weeks, had not yet been completely ruled out in recent hours.
