Match Preview

The pressure will be on Philippe Clement this week, as Rangers return to action following a disappointing run of performances in Scotland’s top-flight. The Gers already sit eleven points off the pace in the league, but confidence could be gained from their European performances this term. Rangers have won two of their four matches, and have avoided defeat in their last two.

Meanwhile, there will be increased pressure on Nice coming into this round. The Ligue 1 side have failed to win in four Europa League outings so far this season, and have lost two of their last three. They managed to stop a negative run of results after picking up a draw on matchday four.

This will be a first meeting between Rangers and Nice since the 1956-57 Champions League, where Nice progressed through to the second round after a deciding 3-1 win. However, the Gers are unbeaten in their last five away matches against French teams, winning twice and playing out three draws.

Nice will take confidence from their recent outing, as they came back from 2-0 down to salvage a point against FC Twente. Despite that result, Nice have trailed for 70% of their matches in the Europa League this season.

The Gers have been excellent on the road in the Europa League across recent seasons after avoiding defeat in their last five. However, it could be worth noting that three matches over that period have ended in draws.


Nice vs. Rangers Picks

This will be a must-win encounter for the home team on Thursday. However, Rangers have regularly produced their best performances on the road in the Europa League, meaning that there could be value in siding with the points being shared.
