Nice predicted XI v Montpellier: Melvin Bard out, Evann Guessand to start | OneFootball

OGC Nice have no fresh injury concerns but will have to do without wing-back Melvin Bard when they come up against Montpellier HSC on Sunday afternoon.

The Frenchman is suspended after being sent off late on against Le Havre AC last weekend. With Nice’s injury concerns having faded, there is a simple solution within their ranks with Ali Abdi, who this week extended his stay at the Allianz Riviera, coming in to take his place at left-wing-back.

Terem Moffi and Morgan Sanson remain out, although both are edging closer to making their respective returns. Gaëtan Laborde will lead the line for Le Gym amid a purple patch, whilst Evann Guessand will likely play out on the right. Mohamed Ali-Cho and Sofiane Diop will compete for a place on the left of the attack.
