Unbeaten Nice seek a continuation of their outstanding start to the Ligue 1 season when they welcome Rennes to the Allianz Riviera on Sunday.
The league-leading side are favourites to pick up the victory in the 11th round against a team that have secured one point from an available nine in the competition.
The undefeated side have been beneficiaries of a backline that has conceded four goals all season, by far the best defensive record in the division.
With five consecutive shutouts in the competition, in which the last four matches have been 1-0 victories, the Eaglets seek another clean sheet to give themselves a chance of retaining first place at the end of gameweek 10.
It remains to be seen if Nice's unbeaten start to the season is sustainable, but Farioli's team are expected to better last season's ninth-place finish under Didier Digard.
