Prediction: 2-1
Nice
Stadium Municipal will host Sunday’s matinee between Toulouse and Nice. Les Pitchouns aim to build on back-to-back wins over Monaco and Lille and they are surely capable of matching les Aiglons in front of home fans. Both Sierro and Dallinga are pushing for recalls to the starting XI, while all Diarra, Desler, Genreau, and Aboukhlal are out of contention with injuries.
Nice, on the other hand, failed to win the previous four league matches. Les Aiglons suffered a dip in form and given their under-par performance in a goalless draw with Clermont, we are tempted to put our money on Carlos Martinez Novell’s troops. To make things even worse for the visiting side, defender Youssouf Ndayishimiye serves a one-game ban, while both Morgan Sanson and Sofiane Diop are out of contention with injuries. In the first half of the season Nice defeated Toulouse 1-0, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
Highlighted Player (Youcef Atal):
The Boghni born Algerian started playing football at the age of ten when he joined CR Belouizdinad's youth academy in 2006. His decade long youth career saw him feature for other more Algerian teams before signing a professional contract with the last one, namely Paradou AC, in 2015.
Atal, who predominantly plays as a right-back, made his first professional appearance on the 9th of January 2016, playing in Paradou's 3-0 over CR Beni Thour in the Coupe d'Algerie. His performances during his 17/18 loan spell at Belgian Club Kortrijk earned him a move to France with OGC Nice in 2018.
At Nice, the 23-year-old has become a valuable first-team player and is on a five-year contract expiring in 2023. On the International stage, Atal has capped 14 times for Algeria, making his debut on the 6th of June, 2017, in a friendly against Guinea.
Highlighted Team (Toulouse):
Toulouse are a professional football club that compete in Ligue 1. Les Pitchouns are well known for their purple jerseys with white stripes and it has to be noted that they used to wear red and yellow jerseys in the past. Toulouse welcome their opponents at Stadium Municipal and the capacity of the team’s home ground is 33.150. Stadium Municipal was used as a venue for the 1998 FIFA World Cup.
In 1982 the club secured promotion to the Ligue 1 for the first time ever and you should bear in mind that the likes of Jacques Santini and Daniel Jeandupeux were part of the team. A win over Napoli in the round 1 of the 1986/1987 UEFA Cup is considered one of the club’s biggest success as football legend Diego Maradona played for the Italian team back then, attacker Daniel Jeandupeux scored the winner for Toulouse in the penalty shoot-out. Bordeaux are regarded as the club’s fiercest rivals and the two teams face each other in Derby de la Garonne.
