2.05Tip and bets
Nice have not yet won in the Europa League and are in the penultimate place in the table – one more mistake could completely exclude the “eagles” from the fight for the playoffs, but a victory would significantly increase their chances. It is obvious that the visitors have nothing to lose and Nice will take risks, but Union has its own plans for points, the “unionists” are traditionally effective on their home field, an exchange of goals is almost inevitable.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. Prediction - both will score . This bet is offered for 1.85
Bet on the outcome
Nice have looked frankly weak in recent matches and are far from being in the best shape, Union will probably set maximum goals for themselves today. Despite their poor shape, the hosts are quite capable of taking the maximum - the Eaglets have no class advantage, Nice is traditionally vulnerable in away matches, and the guests have plenty of personnel problems.
The bet is Union victory. This bet is offered for 2.10
Bet on corners
Union will probably spend a lot of time attacking at home, but Nice is quite capable of responding, there should be a lot of corners.
Bet - total over 9.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.85
