Nice vs Rangers Prediction & Picks - Europa League
by Tyler Doty | in Soccer Picks
This is one of the fixtures to watch on Matchday 5 of the Europa League league phase. OGC Nice and Rangers FC face off this Thursday at 3 pm EST at the Allianz Riviera. Installed in 5th place in Ligue 1, the Aiglons are in good form on the domestic scene. They are not, however, as convincing in the Europa League. They have taken just 2 points from their first 4 matches. The French club will need to pick up their first win very quickly if they are to continue their fight for qualification for the knockout stages.
Rangers, for their part, are not shining in the Premiership. They are only 3rd in the table, almost 11 points behind the leaders. The Scottish club is faring much better in the Europa League. Even so, they remain in 10th place in the league phase. They have already managed 2 wins in the European competition. They will be aiming for a result on this trip, to stay close to the top 8.

Nice - Rangers: Form Analysis
Now coached by Franck Haise, OGC Nice have put in a fine showing in Ligue 1 since the start of the season. The Aiglons are unbeaten in nearly 8 league games. In particular, they have just beaten RC Strasbourg (2-1). A fine run of form that has seen the French club move up to 5th place in Ligue 1, just 2 points off the top 4. Things are a little more complicated in the Europa League. In addition to 2 draws against Real Sociedad (1-1) and FC Twente (2-2), the Gym lost to Lazio Rome (4-1) and Ferencvaros (1-0). They are already 2 points off the top 24.
OGC Nice are still in search of their first Europa League victory.
Used to fighting for the Premiership title in recent seasons, Rangers FC are having a much harder time of it this term. They lie 3rd in the table, almost 11 points behind 1st-placed Celtic Glasgow. In fact, the Scottish club's 1-1 draw with Dundee United was a disappointment. Philippe Clement's men are better off in the Europa League. They only lost to OL (1-4). Otherwise, they were able to beat Malmö FF (0-2) and Steaua Bucharest (4-0), as well as holding off Olympiakos (1-1). They will certainly be coming to the south of France with high ambitions.

Ali Abdi, Mohamed Abdelmonem, Antoine Mendy, Morgan Sanson and Terem Moffi are all out. However, Franck Haise still has everything it takes to win against Rangers FC.

Very prolific in Ligue 1, Evann Guessand wants to unlock his counter in the Europa League.
As for Rangers FC, Neraysho Kasanwirjo is out for the match. Oscar Cortés remains doubtful. Vaclav Cerny will be one of the Scottish club's players to watch. He is one of the Premiership's top scorers, with 5 goals. What's more, the Czech striker has already bagged 2 goals and 2 assists in this edition of the Europa League. He has no intention of taking his foot off the pedal at Nice.
