Last season Nice failed to please with the content and results. Moreover, the team failed the home part of the tournament when they lost to everyone at their home stadium. In the summer the team was led by Christophe Galatier, with whom the situation changed for the better. After 20 rounds of the current championship, the gymnasts have 11 wins and four peaceful outcomes, which brought 36 points and second place in the table. The gap from the leader before today’s round is 11 points. It should be noted the second best indicator in the league in terms of the quality of defense, which conceded fewer goals per game. In the last three rounds the “black-reds” beat “Rennes” (2:1), “Lance” (2:1) and “Brest” (3:0). The Eagles successfully started in the French Cup, where after defeating the difficult Cholet (1:0), the southerners immediately made it to the 1/8 finals of this tournament, where on January 30 they will play with Ajaccio. Atal, Lemina and Robson Bamboo, who has an ankle injury, will not be able to take part in the fight today.
The Warriors are second again, but the battle for leadership in the Western Conference continues. At the moment, the team has only one opponent “Phoenix”, which is doing everything possible so that the guys of Steve Kerr are always on the alert. Golden State lost their last fight as they failed to properly prepare for Memphis (108:116). The opponent was one step ahead and only in the third quarter we saw the real Warriors. There is some good news as Clay Thompson has returned to the floor and is slowly gaining momentum. The San Francisco squad needs a win to keep the Suns going, but the Bucks aren’t averse to improving their stats either.
