Team News: Said Benrahma starts for Nice against Evian TG

Nice have given a rare start to promising striker Said Benrahma as they take on Evian TG at the Allianz Riviera in Ligue 1 this evening.

The 19-year-old is to partner Alexy Bosetti in a 4-4-2 formation, with attacking support being provided by Valentin Eysseric and Eric Bautheac from the middle.

The visitors have decided to field an identical formation, which makes use of Nicki Bille Nielsen and Clarck Nsikulu up front.

Evian are to be led by captain Dany Nounkeu who starts in defence, while the likes of Daniel Wass and Adrien Thomasson will be looking to drive the away side from midfield.

Nice: Pouplin; Gomis, Puel, Amavi, Genevois, Eysseric, Hult, Mendy, Bautheac, Bosetti, Benrahma

Evian TG: Leroy; Abdallah, Nounkeu, Mongongu, Juelsgaard, Ninkovic, Thomasson, Tejeda, Wass, Nsikulu, Nielsen
