Nice vs Lille commentary: A lackluster start

Lille is a team that has invested heavily in the summer transfer window of 2023 and they are expected by fans to achieve good results, and then win tickets to the European Cup in the French league this season.

It is impossible to confirm but right in the opening match, the Mastiff will face a challenge called Nice and it is likely that Lille will fail in the task of winning all 3 points.

Remember, Nice is a formidable team when unbeaten in the last 5/6 matches in Ligue 1. At home, Nice has only lost 2 times in the last 17 official home matches. With the above performance, Nice is confident to take points from Lille's hand.

Back to the away team, Lille entered the opening match of the league with erratic form when losing 1 and drawing 1 in 2 friendly matches right before the season. If you are observant, Lille is an unreliable team when playing away from home. As proof, they lost 2 and drew 3 in the last 5 away matches in the national championship.

- Nice: Schmeichel; Todibo, Dante, Lotomba; Mendy, K.Thuram, Sanson, Bard; Laborde, Moffi, Boga.

- Lille: Chevalier; Diakite, Yoro, Ribeiro, Ismaily; Gomes, Andre; Haraldsson, Cabella, Ounas; David.
