Our prediction for this Europa League match:
Nice will look to continue their impressive form when they host Twente in the Europa League round 4 clash at Allianz Riviera. Les Aiglons are high on confidence after back-to-back victories in Ligue 1, having recently seen off both Monaco and Brest with strong performances. Although midfielder Pablo Rosario is sidelined through suspension, Nice have shown considerable improvement in recent matches, making them favourites to win Thursday's Europa League clash.
Twente, meanwhile, arrive in Nice after a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Lazio, and they face additional challenges in the form of suspensions. First-choice goalkeeper Lars Unnerstall is banned, which could impact their defensive stability, especially against a Nice side with increasing attacking momentum. Considering that les Aiglons have been showing signs of improvement of late, we believe that punters from all four corners of the world can find value in betting on the Ligue 1 outfit.
Highlighted Team (Nice):
OGC Nice are a football club that participate in French Ligue 1. Les Aiglons welcome their opponents at Allianz Riviera and the club was founded on 9 July, 1904 by Marquis Massengy d’ Auzac.
OGC Nice won their first Ligue 1 trophy back in 1951 and eight years later they clinched their fourth and last domestic title. Speaking of the French Cup, les Aiglons won their third Coupe de France title in 1997. Allianz Riviera has been the home ground of the club since September, 2013 and it has to be noted that the construction of the venue cost €250 million. OGC Nice play their home games in red and black shirts and black shorts, while the colour of their away kits is white.
The Ligue 1 team booked their place in the Europa League group stages for the 2016/2017 season for the first time in the club’s history and they were drawn alongside Schalke 04, Salzburg and Krasnodar in Group I. However, they were beaten by Schalke in their Europa League opener in front of home fans.
