Nice vs Freiburg Prediction & Betting Tips (6 November)

The wait for a victory in European competition is becoming longer and longer for Aiglons supporters who see their team completely incapable of winning in this Europa League. 33rd in this edition, OGC Nice started with a home defeat against AS Roma 1-2, followed by the same score on the Fenerbahce pitch 2-1 and the same melody on the Celta Vigo field at Balaidos 2-1 defeat not helped by the exclusion of Jonathan Clauss in the first act. Fortunately, on the national scene, the GYM is a hit having gleaned three successive victories against OL 3-2, on the pitch of Rennes 1-2 and last week against LOSC 2-0. Casually, the Azuréens had the opportunity to make it four in a row last weekend against PSG at the Parc des Princes, result to follow.  Friborg is much more comfortable in this Europa League than its Nice counterpart. Indeed, the German team won two of their three matches against FC Basel at home 2-1 and Utrecht also at home 2-0.

We can still mention that for its only match played away in C3, Friborg was not able to win in Italy against Bologna 1-1. The SCF has still been in great form for several weeks with only one defeat in its last twelve meetings in all competitions (7 wins, 4 draws). Last week, he beat Düsseldorf in the round of 16 of the German Cup 1-3. Last weekend, in the Bundesliga, the visiting team took to the pitch at Union Berlin, with the result to follow. 

Not registered to play this competition, Bernardeau will therefore logically not play today. Excluded in the first period against Celta Vigo, former French international Jonathan Clauss will serve today. Frank Haise also has to deal with those absent due to injury. We are thinking of midfielder Youssouf Ndayishimiye (no appearance this season), Nigerian striker Moffi (2 goals in 7 appearances in Ligue 1 this season), captain and captain Dante, Canadian international Moise Bombito and Egyptian international Mohamed Abdelmonem. Scorer in Vigo, former Real Sociedad player Mohamed-Ali Cho did not play against Rennes and Lille but would be back and operational today. Prolific in the league, Sofiane Diop (6 goals) has never had the opportunity to start in C3 this season.

Suffering from a muscle injury, Patrick Osterhage (midfielder) could be missing today, just like Ghanaian midfielder Daniel-Kofi Kyereh, announced to be in poor condition by his coach. Announced ill for the Utrecht reception, Burkinabé striker Cyriaque Irie (ex-Troyes) did not play again immediately and should withdraw. Author of a goal and an assist in the competition, Vincenzo Grifo (3 goals in the Bundesliga) will be present as will Croatian rookie Igor Matanovic (2 goals in the league) and Derry Scherhant (2 goals in the league). The last two cities even scored against Fortuna Düsseldorf in the German Cup last week.
