Ferencvaros vs Nice Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

This will be the first meeting between these two teams. 

Ferencvaros are set to lock horns with French outfits Nice in round three of the UEFA Europa League at the Groupama Arena looking to secure their first win of the competition.

Ferencvaros have made an excellent start to their league campaign as they currently occupy the top spot with 21 points from the opening eight games of the season. However, the same cannot be said of their form in the UEFA Europa League as they have suffered two straight losses. 

The first game was a 2-1 loss against Anderlecht followed by the same score-line loss against Tottenham. Pascal Jansen’s team did impressive against the latter and was close to pulling a draw against them after putting in an impressive shift. 

Meanwhile, Nice have made a decent start to the season gathering ten points from the opening eight games to find themselves in the eighth position in Ligue 1. However, you cannot deny the fact that injuries have played a major role for them as they are missing several players at the moment. The team have endured mixed results in the competition, first playing a 1-1 draw against Real Sociedad and followed it with a disappointing loss against Lazio.

Players to Watch

Saldana (⁠Ferencvaros)

Saldana has started the new season in fantastic form for the home team scoring seven goals in all competitions to become the leading goalscorer for them so far. It is a brilliant start for him at his new club who will be hoping they have signed a top player in him. Saldana is a pacey striker who is tough to handle but needs to improve his all-round game to become a top-notch forward in the future. 

Youssoufa Moukoko (Nice)

Youssoufa Moukoko has emerged as one of the exciting talents who has already made a name for himself in the Borussia Dortmund team where he became the youngest goal-scorer in the history of the club. However, due to a lack of first-team football, Moukoko decided to move to Nice where so far he has enjoyed great success scoring two and assisting another two to mark a bright start for his new team.
