Nice vs Real Sociedad Prediction & Picks - Europa League
by Tyler Doty | in Soccer Picks
OGC Nice is the first French club to enter the league phase of the Europa League. Now under Franck Haise, the Côte d'Azur club is looking to make a name for itself on the European stage. On their first matchday, the Aiglons will have their work cut out against Real Sociedad. The match takes place this Wednesday at the Allianz Riviera. Currently in 7th place in Ligue 1, Nice have just boosted their confidence with a stunning 8-0 win over AS Saint-Étienne. Why not follow this up against Real Sociedad?
The Basque club is one of the underdogs in this Europa League. However, they are finding it hard to get started in this new exercise. Real Sociedad are only 16th in La Liga. They have won just once in their first 7 matches. A very complicated situation when it comes to making their Europa League debut. OGC Nice will be hoping to take advantage of this situation in front of their home fans and secure their first victory.

Nice - Real Sociedad: Form Analysis
After the departure of Francesco Farioli, Franck Haise took over the reins at OGC Nice. He only managed a single point in his first 2 Ligue 1 matches. Since then, however, the Aiglons have fared a little better. With the exception of a 2-0 defeat at OM, where they did not look foolish, the Côte d'Azur club overcame SCO Angers (1-4) and above all AS Saint-Étienne last Friday (8-0). This latest triumph enabled them to climb back up to 7th place in Ligue 1. The Nice players will be looking to follow this up in the Europa League.
OGC Nice are on the back of a stunning 8-0 victory over AS Saint-Étienne.
Real Sociedad, meanwhile, are struggling at the start of the season. Expected to be in the fight for Europe, the Basque club are only in 16th position in La Liga after their first 7 games. In fact, Imanol Alguacil's men have taken just 2 points from their last 5 games. After defeats to Real Madrid (0-2) and RCD Mallorca (1-0), Real Sociedad could only manage a draw in their last match at Real Valladolid (0-0).

Youssoufa Moukoko unlocked his scoring potential in the Aiglons' last match. He picked up 2 goals and 1 assist against AS Saint-Étienne. Evann Guessand is off to a good start, with 3 goals and 1 assist in Ligue 1.
Youssoufa Moukoko has just picked up 2 goals and 1 assist against AS Saint-Étienne.
For Real Sociedad, Alvaro Odriozola, Hamari Traoré, Javi Lopez, Brais Mendez and Arsen Zakharyan will not play. Nayef Aguerd, who suffered an injury in the last match, remains a doubt. Takefusa Kubo will be one of the players to watch. The Japanese striker is struggling to get his season off to a flying start, having scored just one goal in the first 7 rounds of La Liga. The 23-year-old talent will be looking to make his presence known in the return of the Europa League.
