Nice can temporarily close the gap between themselves and Ligue 1 leaders Paris Saint-Germain when they head to Stade Oceane on Saturday to battle Le Havre.
The Normandy side are 11th in the table, losing 2-1 to Strasbourg last weekend, while Nice are four points back of first place following a 2-1 victory at home to Reims.
Les Ciel et Marine have conceded in the 89th minute or later in consecutive Ligue 1 affairs, though they have also scored three goals in the 90th minute or beyond this season.
Rarely have we seen them show much quality in the attacking third in their first season back in the top flight, scoring the second-fewest goals to this stage of the domestic campaign (13), including just one in their last four contests.
Le Havre have triumphed only once in their previous nine top-flight encounters (2-1 over Toulouse) but have never lost three successive games in all competitions under Luka Elsner, a streak in jeopardy this weekend.
