Porto – Nice. Forecast and announcement for the Europa League match

On November 28, Porto – Nice will hold their meeting within the framework of the Europa League. The match will start at 19:45 Kyiv time.

Porto

The “Dragons” are playing with variable success in this Europa League draw, 7 points in four meetings allow them to keep tight in the playoff zone, the team is on the 14th line, and only one point from the top 8. Porto started with two victories, over Salzburg away – 1:0 and Crvena Zvezda at home – 2:1, then they lost away to Nottingham Forest – 0:2, and in the last match they drew a friendly on a foreign field with Utrecht – 1:1.

Things are going well in the championship, where the club has 10 wins in 11 meetings, as well as one draw, which allows it to be at the top of the tournament table, three points behind the nearest pursuer. Bednarek and Peres will miss the upcoming match due to injuries.

Nice

The “Eagles” fail again in the European Cups, the team has no points in four rounds, so the chances for the playoffs remain only theoretical. Nice lost three times with a score of 1:2, first at home to Roma, then away to Fenerbahce, and away to Celta. Only in the last round, the club conceded in the native walls of Freiburg with a score of 1:3.

There are also problems in the domestic arena, as the team is on a streak of three defeats, in the last round they failed at home against Marseille – 1:5. The Eagles are in ninth place in the French Ligue 1, 4 points behind the European Cup zone. The team is currently in a bad shape, so it will come to Portugal without much enthusiasm and hope for a positive result. Abdelmonem, Bombito and Ndashimie will miss the upcoming matches due to injuries.

Forecast

The clubs have never played each other before, and the hosts are clear favorites in the upcoming battle. There is a feeling that Nice will stop wasting energy in the European Cups in order to rehabilitate at least in the championship.

I think Porto should have no problem taking the three points. I would bet on the success of the home team with a handicap of -1.5 goals for a fat 2.12.
