It was very difficult for Lorient to keep up with the superior Nice, from which they lost 3-0 away in the previous matchday. The visitors were satisfied with defensive duties and never really contested anything in the match. In the 18th minute, Maolida had the first big opportunity for Nice, which ultimately opened the scoring in the 22nd minute with Sarr. That was the score of the first half.

In the second half, Nice made it 2-0 with Gouiri and essentially secured the victory early on, as Lorient did not seem capable of reacting. In the 83rd minute, the hosts missed another great opportunity for a goal, which, however, they managed to achieve in the 89th minute with Grandsir who wrote the final 3-0.

Injured players Boligard, Silva, Inosan, Dieng, and Mendy are not counting.

From the convincing performance in the supposed derby against Lyon, P.S.Z. comes to this upcoming fixture after defeating Lyon 4-1 at home in the previous matchday. Everything was decided in the first half when P.S.Z. was overwhelming and crushed any resistance from the visitors. Matić’s own goal in the 3rd minute put the hosts ahead, who made it 2-0 in the 7th minute with Berálndo. The two goalkeepers made a great save in the following minutes, but in the 32nd minute Ramos made it 3-0 with a header. Lyon pulled one back with Nouamá in the 37th minute, but before the first half ended, P.S.Z. scored a fourth goal with Ramos in the 42nd minute.

The pace dropped in the second half, but both teams had chances to score. Nevertheless, the score remained unchanged, mainly due to the two goalkeepers who repelled every attempt to breach their goal.

Absent from the squad are the injured players Kimbébé, Rico, and Kurzawa.
