Nice vs Freiburg preview, prediction, team news, and head-to-head.
Nice is feeling the heat after a slow start in the tournament and needs a big result to stay in the race. Freiburg, on the other hand, is in good form and has a chance to strengthen its position in the group.
Nice vs Freiburg preview
Nice is hoping to turn things around in Europe when they welcome their German opponents. They have lost all three of their Europa League games so far and sit in the 33rd position of the table with zero points.
Things have been a bit better in domestic matches, 2 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses in their last five games. Coach Franck Haise will be counting on their home form to make the difference.
Julian Schuster’s Freiburg have been one of the top performers in this season’s Europa League. With 7 points from their first 3 games (2 wins, 1 draw), they comfortably sit 6th on the table, just two points away from the top 3 teams.
They will be quick to bounce back from the goalless draw they had against Union Berlin on the weekend. This fixture is an opportunity for them to move further to the top of the table.
