In the upcoming semi-final of the Coupe de France, OGC Nice will face RC Strasbourg Alsace at the Meinau stadium. First-choice goalkeeper Yehvann Diouf is expected to be replaced by Maxime Dupé due to injury. Coach Claude Puel aims to field a competitive lineup despite ongoing struggles to avoid relegation from Ligue 1. Defensive challenges arise as club captain Dante, Moise Bombito, and Youssouf Ndayishimiye are unavailable for selection. Nice's defense, which successfully kept a clean sheet against Lille OSC recently, is likely to remain unchanged. Midfielder Tanguy Ndombélé is anticipated to start on the bench, with Hicham Boudaoui taking his place in the lineup. The predicted starting eleven includes Dupé in goal, supported by Juma Bah, Kojo Peprah Oppong, Antoine Mendy, Melvin Bard, Salis Abdul Samed, Boudaoui, Jonathan Clauss, Tom Louchet, Elye Wahi, and Morgan Sanson.
