FC Porto vs Nice Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | UEFA Europa League 2025-26

This is going to be the first-ever confrontation between these clubs.

FC Porto are all set to lock horns with OGC Nice for their round 5 league phase fixture of the 2025-26 UEFA Europa League. This is going to be an intense outing, which will take place at the Estádio do Dragão.

The Liga Portugal side will be hosting the contest, and it will be an advantageous situation for them. They have won two of their matches in the European competition this season and will be looking for yet another win. FC Porto will be keen to control the game from the start.

The Ligue 1 side OGC Nice are on a poor run of form at the moment, and this is going to keep them under pressure from the start. They have lost all of their UEFA Europa League matches in the ongoing campaign. They are likely to struggle in their upcoming game as they will be low on confidence.

Players to Watch

William Gomes (Porto)

The 19-year-old is going to be one of the main men in the attacking front for FC Porto. He will be ready to lead the attack from the right and is going to cause constant issues for the opponent’s defence. In four UEFA Europa League matches this season, he has scored two goals.

Terem Moffi (Nice)

Even though he has not been able to find the net for OGC Nice on many occasions this season, Terem Moffi remains an important part of the squad when it comes to the final third. He will be looking to step up his game and help his side stand a chance against Porto in their upcoming European contest fixture.
