Each team's starting lineup from their previous match in this tournament is listed.

Nice

The French club extended their winless streak in the Europa League to eight matches (2 draws, 6 losses) after a 2-2 draw with Twente in the last round. In the current group stage, Nice has drawn twice and suffered two defeats. As a result, the team is in 31st place in the Europa League standings, two points behind the playoff zone. Notably, Nice is among the eight clubs without a win in the current main stage of the Europa League, with a negative goal difference of 4:8.

Defender Moise Bombito and midfielder Sofiane Diop are suspended for this game.

• The team has failed to keep a clean sheet in eight consecutive Europa League matches.
• The club has not won in 12 of their last 13 games in this tournament (2 draws, 10 losses).
• Both teams scored in 7 of Nice's last 8 home matches in the Europa League.

Rangers

The Scots also drew in the last round, with a 1-1 stalemate against Olympiacos. However, unlike Nice, Rangers have secured two victories in the current group stage (1 draw, 1 loss), placing them 10th in the standings, two points away from the top eight. The team has scored in every match of the main stage of this competition, totaling 8 goals while conceding 5. It's worth noting that Rangers have remained unbeaten in five consecutive away games in the second-tier European competition (2 wins, 3 draws).

• The team has not lost in 8 of their last 10 Europa League matches, securing 4 wins.
• Rangers have scored in 8 of their last 9 games in this tournament.
• The club has failed to keep a clean sheet in 11 of their last 13 away matches in the Europa League.

Nice vs. Rangers: Match Prediction

The hosts narrowly avoided defeat in the last round against modest Twente, coming back from a 0-2 deficit. Rangers, however, are a much tougher opponent than the Dutch club, having not won in their last 7 away Europa League matches. The Scottish team remains unbeaten in five away games in the second-tier European competition.

Nice, on the other hand, performs poorly on the European stage, including at home, where they have failed to win in four consecutive Europa League matches (2 draws, 2 losses). Moreover, the French side has not won in 12 of their last 13 games in this tournament. Therefore, I disagree with bookmakers who favor the hosts as clear favorites for the upcoming match. I believe the visitors will extend their unbeaten away run in the Europa League.

My prediction: Rangers to win or draw
