Prediction: 1-1
Nice
Maccabi Tel Aviv and Nice square off against each other at Bloomfield Stadium in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Thursday’s program. The Yellows face a difficult task in the upcoming double-header, but they should not be written off just yet. Keep in mind, though, that midfielder Dan Glazer misses the first leg through suspension after he was sent off in a 2-1 loss to Aris.
Les Aiglons, on the other hand, kicked off the new Ligue 1 campaign with back-to-back draws against Toulouse and Strasbourg. Nice, though, are not regarded as good travellers, which is probably the main reason why we are going to put our money on draw. The likes of Boudaoui, Bulka, Dolberg, and Schneiderlin are out of contention through injuries for the visiting team.
