Replaced in fifth place, Florian Thauvin’s teammates want to keep their position, qualifying for the brand new Europa League Conference next season, and to hope as long as they can grab fourth place and the Europa League. For its part, OGC Nice, twelfth and far from its ambitions, continue to operate its recovery. Discover the probable starting line-ups and the absent from this derby in the South of France.

Three important returns and a last-minute package for the Aiglons
