In the last match, they have tied at home against Angers by (0‑0), after in the previous match they have tied (0‑0) an away match against Guingamp. Interestingly enough, this is a team that has had better results in away matches than at home, since they have won 15 points in away matches and only 10 at their stadium. In the last 8 home league matches Nice has a record of 3 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses, so they have won 10 points out of 24 possible. In their home league matches there are a few frequent results at half‑time: 0‑0 (3 out of 8 matches) and 0‑1 (3 out of 8 matches). 5 of their last 8 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals, so there is a tendency for few goals in their home matches.

Nice comes to this match after a home tie, by a ball, against Angers. The home team usually acts in a 5-4-1, favoring a slower game style, the most advanced player being Balotelli. One of the main weaknesses of the home team is how they approach aerial play, and they usually show great weakness n this aspect. The away coach should not be able to count on Maolida, Lloris, Le Bihan, Coly, Jallet and Cardinale who are injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Walter Benítez, Dante, Christophe Herelle, Malang Sarr, Youcef Atal, Pierre Lees Melou, Rémi Walter, Wylan Cyprien, Allan Saint-Maximin, Adrien Tameze, Igniatius Ganago.
Coach: D. Digard.

In the last match, they lost in an away match against Bordeaux, by (3‑2). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 6 points in away matches and 20 points at their stadium, with 16 goals scored and 6 goals conceded at home, against 8 goals scored and 15 conceded in away matches. In the last 8 away league matches Saint‑Étienne has a record of 1 win, 3 draws and 4 losses, so they have won 6 points out of 24 possible.

In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 4 away matches. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (3 out of 8 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 16 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 6 times but have turned the score around in 2. In the last 10 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 6 of their 16 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Saint-Étienne enters this clash unmotivated after a 3-2 loss in Bordeaux's ground. The away team may play on a tactical system of 4-3-3 and should take a more defensive stance to not conceed the first goal. The player responsible for having the ''enemy's'' defenses alert is Frenchman Khazri, whose best quality is aerial play. The away coach should not be able to count on Hamouma who is injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Stéphane Ruffier, Loïc Perrin, William Saliba, Timothée Kolodziejczak, Pierre-Yves Polomat, Yann M'Vila, Ole Selnaes, Kévin Monnet-Paquet, Yannis Salibur, Loïs Diony, Robert Berić.
Coach: L. Batlles.
