Fixture: Nice vs Dijon League: Ligue 1 Venue: Allianz Riviera Date: Sunday 18th December Kick-off: 09:00 GMTBetting Preview:
League leaders Nice will look to add some space between themselves and the rest of the competition atop of the league when they face relegation candidates Dijon this weekend. In a season full of turnover, Nice have defied all expectations by obtaining some impressive results and climbing all the way to the number one spot in Ligue 1. Mario Balotelli may dominate all the headlines for the hosts, but their superb performances have, mostly come down to a rock-solid defense that has only let in 12 goals the entire season and young striker Alassane Plea who leads the team with 10 goals. Dijon, however, have defied no expectations. The visitors are actually quite effective when going forward, but they have serious problems at the back that have made it nearly impossible for them to when games.Match Prediction:
This match likely won't affect Nice's position at the top of Ligue 1. Even though Dijon has an effective attack, it is not nearly as prolific when on the road and Nice's defense should prove to be too much of an obstacle to overcome. As long as the hosts remain solid at the back then the striker duo of Plea and Balotelli should be more than enough to get through a leaky Dijon defense. A straightforward victory appears to be in the cards for Nice.Possible Lineups:
Nice: Cardinale; Sarr, Dante, Souquet; Dalbert, Walter, Cyprien, Seri, Pereira; Balotelli, Plea Dijon: Reynet; Bernard, Lang, Varrault, Chafik; Sammaritano, Marie, Abeid, Lees-Melou; Tavares, DionyInjury News:
