Nice take on the visitors Basel in the second leg of UEFA Conference League quarterfinal match. The first leg result: 2-2. The match will be played on Thursday, April 20th at Allianz Riviera (Nice).
Nice can only save the season in this tournament. The "Eagles" have big ambitions under their current owners, but they have not been able to prove them yet. They decided to bring Lucien Favre back to the coaching position in the summer, but the Swiss became another football example of what happens when you try to enter the same river twice. Now, after his dismissal, Digard is coaching as an interim. The results at home cannot even be considered mediocre. However, in the Conference League, the French not only won the group, where they played against Slovakia, Partizan, and Cologne, but also managed to beat Sheriff, the best team in Moldova, in both matches of the Round of 16. Last Thursday was more difficult, ending in a draw of 2-2.

Basel will focus on the international stage. "Rot-blau" can still be considered the flagship of Swiss football due to inertia. However, their series of championships ended in 2017, and they finished second in the last Swiss Super League, which was also a breakthrough. However, they could not develop it and, on the contrary, fell even lower in the new season, with the risk of finishing the competition outside the top four. However, in the Conference League, the representative of Switzerland not only advanced from the group, albeit in second place, but also won against Trabzonspor and Slovan in the playoffs. However, both matches against Slovan ended in draws of 2-2, and a penalty shootout was needed to determine the winner. They alternated in the lead against the French, but the result was the same.
On April 13th, the French and Swiss played against each other for the first time. The French are the clear favorites at home. However, the Swiss will give them a fight, which will make the match exciting. We expect "total goals over 2.5.".
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
