Nice vs Basel Prediction & Tips
Allianz Riviera, Nice. The hosts face Basel in the return leg of the Conference League quarterfinals. This is a match that can save the season for both: for Nice is ninth in Ligue 1, out of the Coupe de France and with no hope of qualifying for the top five. Basel, on the other hand, is sixth (out of ten) at home and although it can potentially finish second its points average is low and the distance to first-place Young Boys is sidereal. Whoever wins will most likely face Fiorentina.
Nice have not won in their last five and are betting everything on this competition. The Provençals have lost their last two league games without scoring, the last of which was against Brest, who are fighting not to be relegated. Basel likewise has won one match in the last nine. They still score a lot, however, and have drawn their last three in Conference 2-2, scoring a total of eight goals in their last four games in this competition.
Nice is missing many players whose contributions are usually important. This will change the team’s set-up, so we expect more rusty mechanisms and a weaker defensive outfit. Basel is missing Frei in midfield. In attack, there are many solutions even if the player who can turn the game around is missing.
