Nice suffered their first defeat of the season in a 1-0 loss to Nantes, with Florent Mollet scoring the only goal in the first half. The loss cost Nice three crucial points, putting them at risk of losing ground to the league leader, Paris Saint-Germain, who could extend their lead on Sunday.

With a victory against Le Havre, Paris Saint-Germain could solidify their position at the top of Ligue 1. Nice's defeat and a win for Luis Enrique's men would widen the gap between the two teams to four points.

Nice dropped points against a Nantes side that had suffered three consecutive defeats and a draw.
