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

The previous confrontation between these clubs ended in a 1-1 draw.

Nice are all set to battle it out against AS Roma in the round 1 league phase fixture of the UEFA Europa League 2025-26. Allianz Riviera is ready to witness the interesting clash between the two sides.

OGC Nice have started their new season with inconsistent performances. This might become a problem for them coming into their Europa League fixture. Les Aiglons faced a dominating loss against Brest in their Ligue 1 fixture, and despite being at home next game, the hosts might not be feeling confident enough.

For their opening UEFA Europa League 2025-26 game, AS Roma will be away from home. They have started their new season on a decent note. The Serie A side are coming in after securing a 1-0 win against Lazio in their last league game. Despite being the visitors, Roma will not be under pressure.

Players to Watch

Jeremie Boga (Nice)

The 28-year-old forward will be looking to step up so that he can help his side in the attacking front yet again. Jeremie Boga will be one of the main assets for the hosts in the final third. He has scored two goals in five Ligue 1 matches.

The upcoming contest is going to be an important one for Nice, and Boga can help them by scoring a goal or two.

Lorenzo Pellegrini (AS Roma)

Lorenzo Pellegrini is coming in after scoring the match-winning goal for his side in their previous league game against Lazio. From controlling the field to staying sharp on the attacking front, the 29-year-old from Italy will have an important role to play for the visitors.
