Firsts for Diouf, Bah and Jansson... OGC Nice's eleven against Benfica in the 3rd preliminary round of the Champions League

Three new recruits at kick-off: goalkeeper Yehvann Diouf, defender Juma Bah and winger Isak Jansson will experience a real baptism of fire as they discover the Allianz Riviera.

It's an unsurprising team that will face Benfica, the same team that won against Feyenoord (2-1) in their most convincing match of the preparation.

For this match, Franck Haise will notably be without Moise Bombito (micro-fissure of the tibia) and Ali Abdi (pubic discomfort). Evann Guessand, for his part, has headed to England where he will sign with Aston Villa.

The eleven: Diouf - Mendy, Bah, Dante - Clauss, Boudaoui, Sanson, Bard - Bouanani, Moffi, Jansson
