Nice vs Basel Prediction: Recent performance and H2H stats

Nice’s last 5 matches

Nice's team is aware that they are just one home win away from making history, as they have never made it to the semi-finals of a UEFA competition before. Despite being winless in five games since their second leg triumph over Sheriff Tiraspol in the last 16 of this tournament, they are in a great position to achieve this feat.

In the first leg against FC Basel 1893, they had a lead after Moffi's impressive overhead kick secured his second goal of the evening. However, their lack of focus led to Basel equalizing, leaving the tie wide open.

Nice’s last 5 matches

Nice's preparation for the upcoming match has not been ideal, as they suffered back-to-back defeats domestically following a draw against Angers.

Moffi, who has 19 goals in 31 games for Lorient and now Nice, is expected to be the difference-maker for Nice, as he continues to excel in his breakthrough season.

Basel’s last 5 matches

Basel is currently experiencing their worst domestic season in the 21st century. However, they have the opportunity to match their best-ever European performance by progressing in this tournament. The Swiss giants have only made it to the semi-finals of a European competition twice in their history, with the most recent being the 2012-13 Europa League campaign.

Basel’s last 5 matches

Despite this, they have never won in any of their seven visits to France in UEFA competitions. Their record of just one win in nine games during regulation time suggests that they may struggle, and their best chance of going through may be via extra time and penalties.

For Basel to make history in this second leg, Amdouni and Andi Zeqiri must continue their impressive form on the continent. The duo has scored five goals in this season's UECL, with only Fiorentina's Arthur Cabral and Luka Jovic having more.

Nice vs Basel H2H Stats

Nice and Basel have only faced each other once before, which was in the first leg of their Conference League quarter-final clash on 13 April 2023. The match ended in a 2-2 draw, with both teams showing their attacking prowess.

Nice vs Basel Prediction 1: Nice To Win

Despite facing several injury problems, Nice can rely on their starting strikers duo Moffi-Laborde to bring confidence to the team. As they prepare for their match against Basel, both players are aware of their team's recent struggles, having failed to win a game in their last five matches. Nice's last victory came against Sheriff Tiraspol, and since then, they have dropped a considerable number of points in Ligue 1. Therefore, the Conference League remains their only route to success this season.
