Prediction: 2-2
Nice
All eyes will be on RheinEnergieStadion when Koln and Nice square off against each other in the Group D derby. Koln face a must-win situation in the decider, and we are positive that they will fight tooth and nail against les Aiglons. Towering centre-forward Steffen Tigges is pushing for a start, while defender Luca Kilian is back from a domestic ban. All Andersson, Chabot, Hector, Lemperle, Limnios, Ljubicic, Olesen, and Thielmann have been struggling with injuries of late.
Nice, on the other hand, aim to retain top position in Group D, and seeing that Partizan play host to Slovacko, the visitors will go for a win in Thursday’s clash as well. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Jean-Clair Todibo is back from suspension, while all Bulka, Delort, and Diop are likely to miss the game with injuries.
