---------------------------------
Nice, reeling from a 2-1 loss to Monaco and manager Franck Haise's criticism of owner Jim Ratcliffe, face a crucial home game against Nantes. With only one point from their last three matches, Nice's top-four ambitions are under threat. They must capitalize on favorable home fixtures, given their challenging away schedule.

Nantes, also struggling, suffered a 3-2 defeat to Le Havre, their fifth in seven games, plunging them back into relegation concerns. Despite recent wins against Lens and Lille, their inconsistency is a major issue.

Nice, despite being winless in six against Nantes, have a chance to exploit Nantes' fragile confidence. Dante's suspension weakens Nice's defense, but the return of Moffi is a boost. Nantes' defensive woes are compounded by Castelletto's suspension, while several injuries further deplete their squad.

Given Nantes' recent form and defensive vulnerabilities, Nice has a strong opportunity to bounce back and secure a vital victory in their pursuit of Champions League qualification.

Prediction: Nice
