Nice will be looking to extend their winning run to three matches across all competitions when they play host to FC Slovacko at Allianz Rivera on Thursday in matchday four of the Europa Conference League.

Just a week ago, the hosts picked up their first three points of this competition through a 1-0 victory over the Czech outfit, who are bottom of Group D with only one point.

Nice are finally showing signs of progression from Nice having put together three solid matches in October, winning their last two games by a single goal, and are 13th in the Ligue 1 table with 11 points after narrowly beating Troyes 3-2 at the weekend.

That was the first time that Lucien Favre’s side had scored multiple times in a Ligue 1 game this season, scoring two more goals over those 90 minutes that they had in their opening four home matches domestically.

In their first three matches at the group stage of this competition, Favre has counted on solid defensive components who have kept back their opponents, conceding the third-fewest goals so far and posting their second clean sheet at the Europa Conference League last week.

Home ground has not been of advantage for Slovacko this season, who have failed to claim victory in six consecutive matches across all competitions at Unerske Hradiste, including successive defeats to Nice and Bohemians 1905.

Away from home is where they have recently looked more comfortable, collecting at least a point in two of their last three matches across all competitions, winning their previous away game 2-0 over Zlin domestically.

In five previous matches against clubs from France, Martin Svedik’s side have only picked up one victory, collecting just a single point in their two previous visits, while they have scored zero goals over those games.

Nice news

Mattia Viti scored his first goal for the hosts on Sunday since joining the club from Empoli during the summer transfer window.

FC Slovacko news

Goalkeeper Jiri Borek picked up a red card in the 13th minute for Slovacko at the weekend, forcing Martin Svedik to bring on Filip Nguyen in place of Filip Vecheta early on.

Petr Reinberk and Vlastimil Danicek each scored in their defeat to Bohemians 1905 on Sunday, the first for Reinberl this season.

Prediction and Odds

We are expecting another tough and cagey affair on Thursday between these two sides, with either team fighting to pick up all three points.

However, we back Nice to eventually claim another victory due to the momentum on their side, and their side is a little deeper and more experienced than the visitors.
