With five defeats from five, OGC Nice’s focus is turning away from the UEFA Europa League, and so they are expected to field a rotated side against Braga on Thursday evening.
The likes of Yehvann Diouf, Hicham Boudaoui, Charles Vanhoutte, Sofiane Diop, and Mohamed-Ali Cho are all expected to start on the bench for the Portuguese side. In goal, therefore, there will be a rare start for Maxime Dupé, who did the pre-match media duties.

Morgan Sanson is expected to captain Nice, whilst there could also be a start for Tanguy Ndombélé in midfield. The former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder has been injured since January, but he made his long-awaited comeback off the bench against SCO Angers over the weekend.
