Nice host Maccabi Tel Aviv at Allianz Riviera, in an effort to overturn their 1-0 loss in Israel. The signs are certainly not encouraging for the hosts. Ever since Galtier replaced Pochettino as new PSG coach, Lucien Favre’s comeback has not been as successful as his first stint, quite the opposite actually. Nice are still winless in the four competitive games they have played this season, drawing two and losing against Clermont in the league at the weekend, in addition to their poor performance and deserved loss in Tel Aviv. Nice now require at least two goals to better Maccabi’s result and progress to the group stages but recent stats indicate that it surely a tough ask at the moment. That is because the French side have failed to score more than once in their last nine games, and doing so just twice in their last sixteen.

 Maccabi were fortunate to escape after finding it tough against Aris in the last round, but they were much better prepared against the French team, looking them in the eye and clinching an invaluable home win. They managed to follow that up with a successful opening game for the Israeli league, beating newcomers Maccabi Bnei Raina 5-0 to kick off the league in style. Vladimir Ivic’s side have thus won four of their last six games, keeping clean sheets in five of them. While they are formidable on home soil, they are encountering some issues in their away games, where they have lost four of their last seven, as well as losing their latest European away game 2-1 to Aris.
