After seven rounds of the current season, Nice have only one misfire in the match with Lorient (0:1). Christophe Galatier managed to improve the game in the team and before this meeting the gymnasts had four victories and two peaceful outcomes, which brought 13 points and the fourth place in the standings. In the last round, the away eaglets left no chances for Saint-Etienne (0:3). Budaoui, Dolberg, Kluivert and Robson Bambu, who has a shoulder injury, will not be able to play today.
The start of the Champions League group stage for Barcelona was an obscene failure. After two stages of the new championship, the Catalans chalked up two defeats and zero in the “points” column. In the last match, the away team could not do anything with Benfica, who were weak-willed in losing 0:3. It should be noted that for 90 minutes of the match, the guests never hit the target. Moreover, in two rounds, Barca never scored. The chair under Ronald Koeman swayed in earnest. In La Liga guests gained three wins and draws in six matches, which brought 12 points and sixth place. Following a draw with Cadiz (0:0), Barcelona easily defeated Levante (3:0) at home. It is possible to note the second figure in the league in terms of conceded goals, of which the team has only five. Today Aguero, Alba, Balde, Dembele and Braithwaite, who has a knee injury, will not be able to enter the field.
