Betting on OGC Nice
Four consecutive winless matches in Ligue 1 have left Nice with the obligation to win the Conference League if it wants to play in Europe next season.
The French team had the opportunity to win in Switzerland, but a goal from Basel in the 71st minute left the tie open and with a lot of pressure for both teams.
Didier Digard’s team has had many problems defining matches this season, and what happened in the first leg exemplifies why Nice is 10 points behind the European spots in the French league.
With 12 draws, the team is third in the Ligue 1 standings, while at home, it has strung together four games without a win with only two goals scored in that span.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Kasper Schmeichel; Youssouf Ndayishimiye, Jean-Clair Todibo, Dante Bonfim. Melvin Bard; Pablo Rosario, Aaron Ramsey, Khéphren Thuram-Ulien, Hicham Boudaoui; Gaëtan Laborde, Terem Moffi.
Betting on FC Basel
The situation for Basel is a bit more relaxed than its opponent’s, despite not being able to secure a win in front of its fans. The Swiss team is just one point away from European spots in the Super League, and is even within five points of Champions League places with only eight games left.
However, its performance hasn’t quite solidified its position in the local tournament, as it has only managed to win one of the last five matches, along with a draw against Nice.
Things get a little more complicated for Heiko Vogel’s team when playing away, as it has only recorded two wins in the last 12 away matches in the Swiss league.In addition, Basel has only managed to win twice on the road in eight games played in this season’s Conference League.
Possible Lineup (3-5-2): Marwin Hitz; Michael Lang, Andy Pelmard, Kasim Adams; Taulant Xhaka, Andy Diouf, Dan Ndoye, Wouter Burger, Sergio Lopez; Zeki Amdouni, Andi Zeqiri.
JefeBet Prediction
The first leg showed us why this is one of the most evenly matched quarter-finals in the Conference League, with two teams performing similarly in their respective leagues in the continental championship.
At home, Nice is one of the clubs with the lowest number of goals scored in Ligue 1, with only 18 goals, and in just three of its 15 home games did it score two goals or more.
On the other hand, Basel’s attack on enemy grounds is not much better. The Swiss are the third team with the least number of goals scored in the Super League on the road, with only 14 in 14 games, and in the Conference League, it has scored nine goals in eight away matches. Therefore, at Jefebet, we predict that the points will be shared in this upcoming Nice vs Basel encounter.
Prediction: Under in the first 90 minutes (NIZ 1 – BAS 1).
