Nice vs Basel – Nice will be hoping for a better outcome here after losing to Brest by a score of 1-0 in Ligue 1 last time out.
Nice had 48% of the possession in that game and made 12 efforts on goal, scoring on six of them. Brest, their adversaries, had 14 shots at goal with 3 of them being on target. Brest scored through Jérémy Le Douaron (12′).
Recent games have all too rarely featured Nice displaying their defensive mettle. They will be concerned because Nice have allowed 8 goals in 6 of their previous 6 games while failing to stop opponents from scoring in 6 of those games.
FC Basel 1893 and BSC Young Boys tied 1-1 in their previous matchup in the Super League. In that game, FC Basel 1893 enjoyed 51% of the possession and 8 out of 14 goal attempts were successful.

The numbers don’t lie, as FC Basel 1893 have allowed 11 goals in their last six games while being scored against in 5 of those contests.
FC Basel 1893 has obviously had issues in the back. Aside from that, we’ll simply have to wait and see if the trend will continue in this game.
Nice vs Basel – Betting Analysis
Almost all of the players are available for selection, with Nice coach Didier Digard having to deal with just one fitness issue out of an otherwise completely prepared group of players. Jordan Lotomba is out due to an unknown injury.
Heiko Vogel, the manager of FC Basel 1893, does not have access to his entire roster. Riccardo Calafiori (unknown injury), Marwin Hitz (illness), Fabian Frei (herniated disc), and Arnau Comas (thigh issues) are not suitable for selection.
Nice can and should control most of the possession in this game, and they should be able to score on a handful of their chances. FC Basel 1893 will have a difficult time scoring on the opposite end, but we believe they will have plenty of opportunities.
