Nice will host Slovacko at the Allianz Riviera on Thursday (October 13) on matchday four of the UEFA Europa Conference League.
The hosts kicked off their continental campaign with 1-1 draws against Koln and Partizan. They picked up their first win of the tournament last Thursday with a 1-0 win over their midweek opponents. Arsenal loanee Nicolas Pepe scored the winner with a fortuitous strike just after the restart.
Nice are second in the group with five points from three games. They are level on points with group leaders Partizan and will leapfrog them with a win here.
Trending
Slovacko, meanwhile, have struggled for results recently after a positive start to their season. They have been uninspiring in the continent, playing out a 3-3 draw against Partizan in their opener before suffering consecutive defeats, most recently against their Nice last week.
The visitors have picked up just one point from nine and sit rock-bottom in the group. They will look to pick up their first win of the competition to avoid hurtling towards an early elimination.
