This could be an interesting match as Nice have their presumed home advantage while Bordeaux are ahead 2 points in the Ligue 1 table.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

It's quite the trip for Bordeaux when visiting Nice as the cities are 800 kilometers apart.
