Maccabi Tel Aviv have won all but one of their last four games across competitions. They have, however, lost the previous UECL away game home and could struggle in this encounter too.
Nice, meanwhile, are winless in their four matches this season and will be desperate for a win.
Although poor results, Lucien Favre’s side are better and stronger. They should be able to advance to the group stage.
In the first leg, Nice had 15 goal attempts and 6 shots on goals. We may see a couple of goals in this game.
Struggling Nice come into this match on an abysmal run of form, as they are still winless in their new campaign.
Lucien Favre’s men have played out back-to-back 1-1 draws in their opening two Ligue 1 games, then registered two narrow defeats against Maccabi Tel Aviv (UECL) and Clermont (Ligue 1).
Although in their first leg against Maccabi, Nice had much better ball possession with 52% and more goal attempts with 15, they couldn’t score. Now the French side players will be looking to overturn a 1-0 deficit.
On the other hand, during the first leg and despite the Nice superior ball possession, the home side were better tactically as they didn’t allow their opponents to break them down.
