Nice will host Basel at the Allianz Riviera on Thursday in the second leg of their UEFA Europa Conference League quarterfinal tie.
The home team have struggled for results in Ligue 1 of late but will turn their attention to continental football this week. They played out a 2-2 draw in the first leg last week, with Terem Moffi scoring both goals for the French club to take his tally for the season up to 19.
Nice are currently enjoying their best-ever run on the continental stage and will be looking to secure a semifinal spot in the Conference League this week.
Basel have also struggled for results in their league assignments so far but remain hopeful of a European triumph at the end of the season. Zeki Amdouni opened the scoring from the penalty spot for the RotBlau last Thursday before heading home the equalizer midway through the second half.
The visitors will be looking to shake off their latest results and return to winning ways when they play on Thursday.
Nice have lost two of their last three games after going unbeaten in their 14 games prior. They have however lost just one home game all year and will fancy their chances ahead of the midweek clash.
Basel are on a run of three consecutive draws and have won just one of their last six matches across all competitions. They are winless in their last two away games and could lose this one.
Prediction: Nice 2-1 Basel
Tip 1 - Result: Nice
Tip 2 - Goals - Over/under 2.5 - Over 2.5 goals (Four of RotBlau's last six matches have produced more than 2.5 goals)
Tip 3 - Both teams to score: YES (Both sides have found the back of the net in five of the Eaglets' last seven matches)
