As for their domestic affairs, the Sky Blues have been inconsistent in Serie A new season, currently sitting in 7th place with 10 points gathered across six matches.

Nice opened the Europa League group stages with a 1-1 home draw against Real Sociedad, conceding early while Pablo Rosario found an equalizer just before the break.

The Eaglets are sitting in 9th place on French Ligue 1 table, having collected eight points in six rounds. Last weekend’s clash at Lens ended in a goalless draw.

Their other results in September include victories against St Etienne 8-0 and Angers 4-1, while losing to Olympique Marseille 2-0 at Stade Velodrome.

Nice Injuries & Team News

One of Nice’s top strikers Tarem Moffi still hasn’t played a single match this season due to cruciate ligament tear.

Morgan Sanson and Gaetan Laborde have been out since mid-August.

Tanguy Ndombele is doubtful for this match after picking up a knock last weekend against Lens.

Verdict

Lazio v Nice

Lazio had a slow start to the new season, but improved drastically in September, claiming three wins in four games. Nice can’t be trusted on the road, so I will back the Sky Blues to collect another three points in Europa League.
