Possession to the advantage of Lille
Lille, who have already conceded two big chances, maintain control of the ball with 62% possession (compared to 38% for Nice).
Lille often effective in attack
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.
The goalkeepers in sight in this first quarter of an hour
Chevalier is undoubtedly the man at the start of the match with his two decisive saves in front of Laborde and Diop. But Bulka has also just reassured his team with a nice exit from a corner.
Bulka gets scared
The Polish goalkeeper from OGC Nice intervenes in the air on a cross, a priori innocuous. He intercepts the ball then releases it. Fortunately, no one from Lille followed.
Chevalier disgusts Diop!
After a sublime three-way combination between Abdi, Laborde and Diop, the last city rolls in a beautiful strike with the flat of the foot but Chevalier lies down well to deflect the leather! Magnificent save from the Lille goalkeeper, already in great form.
David called upon for the first time in attack
From the right side, Meunier crosses into the area and finds David. The Canadian gets the better of Ndayishimiye in the air but is unable to get his head back up. It's next door.
A first tile for OGC Nice?
Rosario complains after taking a big hit behind the jmabe. Ndombele went to warm up. It remains to be seen whether Franck Haise will have to make a first change.
Genesio angry after the start of his team's match
Bruno Genesio sits down after losing his temper at his team and the technical errors made in these first minutes.
Rosario's head goes over
Remaining in the area after a free kick, Rosario fell back from a cross into the area. He heads the ball back but doesn't manage to straighten it enough, it's over the top.
What a Knight save!
The LOSC goalkeeper is already in demand! Laborde lights the first Nice fuse with a very nice shot from outside the area. The latter takes the direction of the skylight but Chevalier flies perfectly to deflect the leather for a corner.
Abdi gets lost… and catches up
On his left side, Abdi makes a first mistake and lets Bakker slip away. The Dutchman is not the fastest and is finally caught running in the penalty area.
Here we go!
The kick-off is given to Pierre Mauroy, it is the Lille people who engage in front of their public!
