OGC Nice predicted XI v Lille: Alidu Seidu to make his debut? | OneFootball

Alidu Seidu joined OGC Nice from Stade Rennais earlier this week in a ‘joker’ deal. The Ghanaian could make his debut against Lille OSC on Sunday afternoon.

Nice haven’t won at the Allianz Riviera in Ligue 1 since beating Lille in this fixture last October. Franck Haise was still in charge at the time. A lot has since changed. Olivier Pantaloni doesn’t have any fresh absences to contend with, although Moise Bombito, Antoine Mendy, and Laurent Abergel all remain sidelined with major injuries. Morgan Sanson, meanwhile, is not yet ready to return for Le Gym.

Whilst Seidu is expected to be in the squad, he is not expected to start. Pantaloni is, nonetheless, expected to continue with his back three, despite Le Gym’s bluntness in attack this season.
