Nice vs FC Koln: Europa Conference League Live Stream, Schedule, Fixture and Probable Lineups

Nice will look to bounce back from their weekend setback when they take on FC Koln in their Europa Conference League opener. The Thursday night clash in Group D at Allianz Riviera will see two teams with contrasting forms taking on each other. It will be difficult to call a winner in this match due to their respective domestic forms. Even though the match is being played in France, Nice’s start to the season does not offer enough encouragement to their supporters. The same cannot be said for the German side who are unbeaten so far in the Bundesliga.

FC Koln surprised many people by consistently producing impressive performances throughout the last campaign. They finished seventh at the table to keep their European dreams alive. Then they sealed their place in the group stage of the Conference League via playoffs. Koln started the new season on a positive note after managing nine points from five games to occupy the sixth spot. Meanwhile, Nice have had a forgettable start to the campaign. They are currently languishing 16th in the table, with just five points from six matches. Nice are heading into this match on the back of losing to Monaco on Sunday.

Possible Lineups

Going into this match, FC Koln have more absentees compared to their opponents. Sebastian Andersson and Florian Dietz’s absence will be a big blow for the German side. They will be joined on the sidelines by Mark Uth and Mathias Olesen. Besides, Benno Schmitz and Julian Chabot are also likely to miss out on the upcoming trip. On the other hand, Nice do not have any fresh injury concerns, which could allow them to name a strong playing XI. With the French side having to make a difficult trip to AC Ajaccio at the weekend, their manager will try to rotate his squad a lot for the Thursday night clash. 

Nice possible line-up: Schmeichel, Todibo, Dante, Sorensen, Lotomba, Beka Beka, Ramsey, Bryan, Pepe, Diop, Laborde

FC Koln possible line-up: Schwabe, Schindler, Kilian, Hubers, Hector, Martel, Skhiri, Thielmann, Duda, Kainz, Tigges
