For the French side Nice, the final two European matches are a mere formality, as the French team is, embarrassingly, the only one mathematically eliminated before Thursday. The outcome is nothing but good news for the team still in contention, the competition's debutant, Eredivisie side G.A. Eagles.
For Nice, this disastrous Europa League season was simply a continuation of the previous one, in which they finished second to last. At least last season they managed to combine it with a solid Ligue 1 campaign. But this time, after conceding five goals to Toulouse, Nice finds itself dangerously flirting with relegation in the French league. Claude Puel took charge of the team, but has failed to make an impact; he has only won one of three matches since taking the reins and has the task of ending Nice's 16-game winless streak in European competition.
On the G.A. Eagles side... There's a lot at stake for the Dutch side on Thursday, so they'll be hoping Milan Smit, who has already scored three away goals for the Dutch team in the Europa League, can add another.

Our Nice vs Go Ahead Eagles Prediction
Being just one point away from the top 24 with two matches remaining is already a significant achievement for G.A. Eagles. The Dutch team has drawn each of their last five matches in all competitions; this suggests they are in a good position, at least to avoid defeat in France against Nice.
Furthermore, only two teams have committed more fouls than G.A. Eagles in this Europa League campaign; the result speaks to the team's fighting spirit and ability to make matches difficult and keep the score close.
Our prediction for Nice vs G.A. Eagles is: G.A. Eagles to win or draw.
