Krasnodar take on the visitors Nice in the round 2 match of Europa League qualification. The match will be played at Kuban Stadium on Thursday, September 29th.
Krasnodar started the group stage with 1-0 away win over Salzburg. The team is currently on five-match undefeated run. They’ve lost their manager Kononov not that long ago, but the first team is quite balanced so their interim coach has no problems with gaining positive results in domestic league and in matches in eurocups against average teams. Krasnodar is quite new organization, but they are already experienced in eurocups and will definitely battle for the place in playoffs. The Bulls show quite nice results at own turf, suffering only three home defeats in 2016.

Nice are quite strong this season and their loss to Schalke on the opening match of the group stage stands aside of all other results. That was the only defeat suffered by the team so far this season with five wins and two draws recorded in other games. Nice played three matches on the road so far this season, taking two 1-0 wins over Angers and Nancy and drawing with Montpellier.
Krasnodar and Nice haven’t meet before. Both teams are of quite the same level so it comes as no surprise that Russian side appears to be a favorite according to the bookmakers. We should expect quite even clash between the teams but even if Nice lose, the spread won’t be big.
Prediction for the match: Nice to win with +1.0 Asian handicap.
