Round 37 of the French Ligue 1 gets underway on Saturday as OGC Nice and Losc Lille square off at the Allianz Riviera Stadium.
The hosts have won each of their last three league outings, while Les Dogues will be looking to end their two-match losing streak.
OGC Nice returned to winning ways in style as they saw off Saint-Etienne 4-2 on home turf last Wednesday.
This followed a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Nantes in the final of the Coupe de France on May 7.

They have now lost four of their most recent five outings, while managing just one win in each of their last seven games.
Lille are currently 10th in the league standings after picking up 51 points from 36 games so far.
