The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Nice are in the 8th position while the guests worry at 20th.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
It's quite the trip for Guingamp when visiting Nice as the cities are 1300 kilometers apart.
