The poster of the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France pits Nice against Olympique de Marseille on Wednesday night, at the Allianz Riviera. The match will kick off at 21:15.
Having fallen to Paris Saint-Germain in the previous round on penalties, Christophe Galtier’s Aiglons are aiming for a place in the last four against a Bouches-du-Rhône club that had eliminated Montpellier, also on penalties. Second in Ligue 1 with thirteen points from Paris Saint-Germain, the formation coached by Jorge Sampaoli remains on a victory against Angers at the Orange Velodrome (5-2). Led 2-0, Dimitri Payet’s partners overturned the SCO on a hat-trick from Arkadiusz Milik and goals from Gerson and Cengiz Ünder. Third by a length from Marseille, the Gym wants to bounce back after a home loss to Clermont (0-1).
For this match, Nice is without Jordan Amavi (knee) and Youcef Atal (collarbone), whose unavailability has been set between four and six weeks. Danilo and Walter Benitez are positive for coronavirus and absent. An uncertain time, Kasper Dolberg holds his place. For its part, Olympique de Marseille cannot count on Boubacar Kamara, suspended. Winners with Senegal of the 2022 African Cup of Nations, Bamba Dieng and Pape Gueye are not in the group. The good news comes from the return of American attacking midfielder Konrad de la Fuente, who has been absent for several weeks.
