"Starting with the hosts, breaking a string of unwanted records this season, it is no secret that Nice find themselves at the heart of a public nightmare. Last seen over the weekend slumping to a 1-0 loss at home against Angers, the pressure on Franck Haise's shoulders has now reached a boiling point. Sacrificing their spot in the top-half of the Ligue 1 standings, the Eagles have remarkably lost all of their previous seven consecutive appearances across all competitions."
"Likewise, hit with a routine 3-0 drumming away at Portuguese giants Porto a fortnight ago, Nice have already watched their knockout stage dreams go up in smoke. In fact, losing all of their first five Europa League showdowns by an aggregate score of 12-4, Thursday's hosts are also the only club who have failed to put a point on the board."
Braga travel to the Allianz Riviera aiming to take a giant leap toward booking a Europa League knockout stage ticket. Nice have lost seven consecutive matches across all competitions and all five Europa League games, conceding an aggregate 12-4 and remaining pointless. Nice face injuries to veteran defender Dante and Egypt international Mohamed Abdelmonem, while academy graduate Tom Louchet is available and Tanguy Ndombele has returned to action. Braga recovered from a stuttering start to the 2025/26 campaign and secured a 2-1 domestic victory away at Famali. Betting verdict: Ricardo Horta over 0.5 shots on target, best odds 4/6 at Olympusbet.
