"In fact, sat rock-bottom of the group stage table and becoming somewhat of a laughing stock from across the continent, Claude Puel's men have astonishingly failed to put a single point on the board during this year's tournament. With their knockout stage dreams already going up in smoke prior to opening 2026, Nice have remarkably lost all of their six Europa League appearances this season by an aggregate score of 13-4."
"However, despite playing out a thrilling 2-2 stalemate away at Ajax over the weekend, Melvin Boel's men are searching for some much-welcomed recent stability. Last seen in European action falling to a 2-1 loss against Lyon, Thursday's guests have failed to win any of their previous 11 straight appearances across all competitions - a rut that stems all the way back to a 2-1 victory against Feyenoord on November 9th."
Nice sit rock-bottom of their Europa League group having lost all six appearances by an aggregate 13-4. Nice failed to gain a single point in the tournament and conceded heavily, including a 5-1 defeat at Toulouse. Claude Puel's squad have not recorded a clean sheet across any competition since the end of October. Go Ahead Eagles travel to France needing a win to stay in contention for the knockout stage. The Dutch side drew 2-2 at Ajax and 2-2 at Sittard but have not won in 11 matches since a 2-1 victory over Feyenoord on November 9. Both teams have shown defensive vulnerabilities.
