Nice face Rangers in the Europa League at the Allianz Riviera on Thursday night, Franck Haise’s hosts are one of eight teams still searching for their first league phase victory. Rangers, on the other hand, have collected seven points from their first four games following their 1-1 draw with Olympiakos.
⭐ Nice v Rangers Best Bets
Look to Nice to score two or more goals on Thursday night. Franck Haise’s side have scored multiple goals in four of their last five home games in Ligue 1, including eight strikes against St Etienne.
It’s also worth noting that Nice struck twice when hosting Twente in the Europa League earlier this month. Rangers shipped four goals against Lyon on matchday two – a team that Nice are housed above in the Ligue 1 table.

🔵 Nicolas Raskin
Nicolas Raskin regularly finds himself on the referee’s radar. The Belgian midfielder has started each of Rangers’ last two Europa League games, committing a combined total of eight fouls in the process. He was also guilty of one offence in his two substitute appearances across the first two matchdays.
Furthermore, Raskin has overstepped the mark five times across his last four Scottish Premiership outings. Thus, the Belgian stands out for two misdemeanours on Thursday night.

💻 Nice v Rangers Form and Tactics
While Nice have yet to win a game in this season’s Europa League, it’s been a different story on the domestic front. The French hosts have avoided defeat in each of their last eight Ligue 1 matches, winning three of their last four.
Franck Haise’s side staged a second-half comeback to claim a well-deserved 2-1 win over Strasbourg last Sunday. Les Aiglons won the shot count 15-10 and produced a 2.12 xG output to Strasbourg’s tally of 0.32.
Nice’s struggles in Europe this season can perhaps be attributed to their lack of discipline. They have picked up more bookings than their opponent in their last three Europa League matches. What’s more, Franck Haise’s team have been shown a red card in each of their last two continental contests. It’s also worth pointing out that Nice had a man sent off against Angers in Ligue 1 earlier this season.
Rangers’ latest setback saw them draw 1-1 with Dundee United last weekend. The Light Blues will consider themselves unfortunate not to have claimed top honours. They dominated possession (72%), won the shot battle (29-5) and landed nine on-target efforts, while Dundee United scored with their solitary shot on target.
Rangers’ most impressive performance in this season’s Europa League was their 4-0 win over FCSB on matchday three. They generated an xG of 1.86 and peppered the FCSB goal with 23 shots, seven of which worked the opposition goalkeeper.
Philippe Clement’s side have not been hitting corners on a regular basis in the Europa league this season, earning a combined total of 14 across their opening four games.
Rangers have been throwing their weight around in Europe this season. They have committed 60 fouls over their first four league phase games, with only three other teams guilty of more misdemeanours.

- However, de Burgos Bengoetxea is a referee who isn’t afraid when it comes to awarding penalty kicks, having done so in four of the 12 matches that he has taken charge of across all competitions this season to date.
