Nice have decided to play with a 4-5-1 formation as they welcome Bordeaux in Ligue 1 this evening, with Alexy Bosetti starting as a lone striker.

Support for the forward man is to come from a five-man midfield, featuring the likes of Niklas Hult, Nampalys Mendy and Julien Vercauteren.

Table-topping Bordeaux have kept their faith in the attacking presence of Diego Rolan and Cheick Diabate, who will start as a forward pair.

The visitors will operate with a four-man midfield, with captain Lamine Sane calling the shots from defence.

Nice: Hassen; Gomis, Puel, Amavi, Genevois, Eysseric, Hult, Mendy, Vercauteren, Bautheac, Bosetti

Bordeaux: Carrasso; Mariano, Contento, Pallo, Biyogo Poko, Sane, Sertic, Khazri, Rolan, Diabate, Maurice-Belay
