Nice vs Twente prediction: The hosts to pick up the win
Key stats
- Nice have won their last two matches in all competitions.
- Twente have won just one of their last four away matches in all competitions.
- Six of Nice's last eight matches have produced fewer than three goals.
Correct score prediction: Nice 1-0 Twente
Nice are a team that like to keep things tight so don't expect fireworks here. Their two most recent victories have been by a solitary goal and a similar outcome here feels likely. Twente haven't managed to win three of their four most recent away matches and it's unlikely to change here.

Most recent H2Hs: A first-ever meeting
This will be the first time that Nice and Twente have ever played against each other which adds an extra element of the unknown to this one. Nice's record against other Dutch sides isn't great with just one win in four matches while Twente's record against French teams isn't much better with three wins from nine matches.
Nice preview: Gathering momentum
Nice are gathering some momentum domestically and are now unbeaten in their last six matches in Ligue 1. The next step for them is to produce this type of form in the Europa League but they are yet to show that this season. This match could therefore be the start of something if they get it right on the night.
Predicted lineup: Bulka (GK), Abdelmonem, Bombito, Dante, Clauss, Boudaoui, Rosario, Abdi, Guessand, Moukoko, Boga

Twente preview: Taking belief from Old Trafford performance
FC Twente started their Europa League campaign this season with a commendable performance at Old Trafford, picking up a well-deserved point against Man Utd. This is their first European away match since that night in Manchester so they will look to that match as inspiration to pull off something similar or better against Nice.
Predicted lineup: Unnerstall (GK), Salah-Eddine, Bruns, Hilgers, Van Rooy, Regeer, Vlap, Ltaief, Steijn, Rots, Lammers

Player to watch: Youssoufa Moukoko
Teenager, Youssoufa Moukoko is a real bright spark in the Nice ranks and the forward will look to do damage to Twente on Thursday. Moukoko registered an assist against Lazio earlier in the campaign so he will be well equipped to have a good performance against Twente. The Dutch side will need to keep a close eye on him, particularly in the latter stages.
