Nice preview: Yet to win in the Europa League
Nice secured all three points at the weekend when they played host to Le Harve in Ligue 1.
The first half ended goalless at the Allianz Riviera but a penalty from Gaetan Laborde put Nice in front in the 55th minute and another from teammate Badredine Bouanani made it 2-0. La Havre pulled a goal back late on but Nice held firm to secure the victory.
The visitors have a long injury list which includes the likes of Mohamed Abdelmonem, Victor Orakpo, Mohamed Ali Cho, Melvin Bard, Dante, Jonathan Clauss, Ali Abdi, Antoine Mendy and Morgan Sanson.
Predicted lineup: Bułka (GK), Bombito, Nandjou, Ndombele, Rosario, Boudaoui, Diop, Louchet, Bouanani, Laborde & Guessand

Player to watch: Mohammed Fuseini
Mohammed Fuseini is enjoying his first season with Union Saint-Gilloise having made the move to Belgium after an impressive spell with Randers in Denmark.
The 22-year-old forward has scored four times in the league this season as well as chipping in with one goal in the domestic cup and one in the Europa League.
Will the Ghana striker score against Nice?
We're backing Fuseini to cause the Nice defence a fair few issues on Thursday and wouldn't be surprised if the young forward added to his Europa League goal tally.
