Nice will host Atalanta at the Allianz Riviera on Saturday in a friendly clash between the two sides.
The French side endured a near-disastrous start to their season but picked up form just before the World Cup and are now pushing for European spots. They played out a 1-1 draw against Olympique Lyonnaise in their last Ligue 1 outing and looked set to come away with all three points before their opponents scored a late penalty.
After the weekend clash, Nice will face Tottenham Hotspur in a friendly clash next week before hosting second-place Lens on their return to competitive action later in the year.
Trending
Atalanta, on the other hand, started their season strongly but hit a rough patch before the international break, consequently falling behind in the race for Champions League football. They were beaten 3-2 by Inter Milan in their last league game, squandering the early lead they picked up in the opening 30 minutes of the game.
The weekend clash will mark La Dea's penultimate game of 2022 and they will be looking to close out the year on a positive note.
