Nice take on the visitors Sheriff Tiraspol in the second leg of UEFA Europa League 1/8-finals. The first leg result: 1-0. The match will be played on Thursday, February 16th at Allianz Riviera (Nice).
Nice are currently on a long streak without a loss, if you count all competitions, then the French team has not lost in 11 consecutive matches. A week ago, the match in Moldova went quite logically, and Sheriff did not suffer a crushing defeat at home, but the French team won 1-0 due to their class. Now, the hosts will probably play a more vibrant game, as the score of 1-0 is very slippery, and Nice, as the favorite of this match, will certainly try to make their advantage more significant as soon as possible. Nice currently shows excellent defensive play, conceding very little, and the Moldovan team will have to work hard to break through the French defense.

Sheriff are naturally already bowed down. It was already a big shock that they passed Serbian Partizan in the previous stage. Now, the Moldovan team has faced a very difficult opponent, and by the standards of the "Conference League," this is a top team. As for the upcoming match, the visitors need to open up and find a moment for a goal, or even more than one, to progress. But as I already mentioned, Nice's defense is very high-quality, and in 7 out of 10 previous matches, they did not concede at all. This is not the most promising perspective for the guests. But it can be said for sure that despite the outcome of this match, the Moldovan team has had an excellent European Cup season.
The odds for the victory of the French team are quite acceptable and promising. It is not very likely that the struggle will intensify here. And most likely, Nice will just secure another victory over their Moldovan opponent. I'm not going to make up anything for the bet, and I'm stopping at the option: W1. As an option, you can even consider a dry victory for the hosts here because it will be very difficult for the visitors to score a goal.
Prediction for the match: Nice to win.
