Our prediction for the match Royal Union vs Nice
Last season, “Union 60” managed to step on the same rake that the club had already suffered in terms of results after the long-awaited return to the Jupiler League. Again, the team, leading, allowed Brugge to overtake it at the finish line. “The Eaglets” were again unable to fully realize their ambitions in the French Ligue 1. Being with Farioli at the helm, they started off well, but finally, having missed several competitors, they appeared in 5th position.
Francesco was replaced by Franck Haise, who made Lens the vice-champion of the country. Speaking about the new place, things are not going well in the national championship. And the French club is completely failing in the Europa League. There happened only home draws in the struggles with Real Sociedad and Twente, while the team lost to Lazio, Ferencvaros and, in the previous round, Rangers, which resulted in a 1-4 rout.
The Belgians’ new coach, Pocognoli, started by winning the Super Cup, but soon troubles began. For instance, Slavia won both matches in the Champions League qualification. For a long time, things did not work out in the Europa League, where the team alternated away defeats, to Fenerbahçe and Midtjylland, and home draws, in the struggles with Bodo/Glimt and Roma. And only the previous round gave an opportunity to beat Twente, preserving the chances of reaching the play-offs.
