Having finished in 5th place in the standings last year, Nice was able to make its comeback in C3 this season. Picked cold from entry by Bayer Leverkusen, the Aiglons bit the dust in Germany (6-2). Vexed, they recovered well by overcoming Hapoel Beer Sheva (1-0) on the 2nd day before losing again, in Prague against Slavia this time (3-2) at the end of a meeting where they appeared in difficulty on the physical level after having played 8 matches in barely a month. In the standings, Patrick Vieira’s men are 3rd in this pool but they are only 3 points behind the first two teams. At the same time, the Azuréens are in 8th position in the standings following their defeat suffered just before the truce against AS Monaco (1-2). This weekend, their scheduled match against Marseille was cancelled due to the large number of Covid cases detected in the Nice locker room.
Opposite, Slavia Prague occupies the top of the standings in Pool C. After missing their debut against Hapoel Beer Sheva (3-1), the Czechs reacted perfectly by winning first against Bayer Leverkusen (1-0) than against Nice (3-1) on the last day. But unlike their opponents, they only had this competition to play since the Czech Republic league had been suspended due to the epidemic until the beginning of November. For their return to the league, the Pragois disposed of Mlada Boleslav (1-0) and thus confirmed their status as a leader, one point ahead of their neighbours Sparta. This weekend, they outclassed Opava (0-6).
The staff for Nice vs Slavia Prague
On the Nice side, the substitute Danilo is still in the recovery phase while the essential captain Dante will not play again this season. Midfielder Kamara is also missing for this part. It will also be necessary to monitor which players of this team will recover from their positive Covid test after the cancellation of the match against Marseille on Saturday. The identity of the affected players has not been filtered. In any case, Patrick Vieira would undoubtedly like to line up his two-star strikers Gouiri and Dolberg for this poster.
At Slavia Prague, Czech internationals such as goalkeeper Kolar, defenders Boril, Kudela and Hovorka, midfielders Masopust, Sevcik and Provod and striker and top scorer Tecl (3 goals) should be present as well as the formidable Romanian Stanciu. A priori, only the defender not used much this season Karafiat should not make the trip to the Côte d’Azur on Thursday. Decisive in the first leg, striker Kuchta had marked the spirits by scoring a double. He scored 2 more goals over the weekend.
The probable line-ups for Nice vs Slavia Prague:
Nice: Benitez – Bambu, Daniliuc, Pelmard – Atal, Schneiderlin, Lees-Melou, Claude-Maurice – Lopes, Dolberg, Gouiri.
Slavia Prague: Kölar – Masopust, Hovorka, Zima, Dorley – Holes, Traoré, Sevcik, Stanciu, Olayinka – Tecl.
