Celta Vigo vs Nice

Celta Vigo are looking to build on a win in their previous League phase fixture when they host Nice on match-day three of the UEFA Europa League.

The Spaniards have been a bit erratic lately, but will be counting on some home form on Thursday. They can hold their own against the French side, who have found things difficult on their travels this season.

Celta Vigo News

Celta Vigo claimed a 3-1 home victory over PAOK in their previous Europa League fixture, with Iago Aspas and Borja Iglesias among the goals. That was a solid return to winning ways for Claudio Giraldez's team, who were beaten 2-1 at Stuttgart in their opening match.

Although things have been a bit erratic lately, Celta Vigo are unbeaten in their last six home matches, playing out a 1-1 La Liga draw with Real Sociedad last weekend. The Spaniards have also won at least one half in their last four matches in front of their fans.

Celta Vigo often enjoy fast starts in front of their fans and have scored first in their last four home matches. However, they are without a clean sheet in all six of their matches at the Estadio de Balaídos this season.

Nice News

Nice have struggled to get going in the Europa League this season, having lost their two matches so far. After falling 2-1 at home to Roma in their opening fixture, they suffered a similar defeat at Fenerbahce last time out.

The French side will head into Thursday's clash off the back of a 3-2 Ligue 1 home victory over Lyon last weekend, ending a five-match winless run across all competitions. However, Franck Haise's team remain poor on their travels, with four defeats at a draw in their last five away matches.

Nice often struggle to keep things tight at the back and are without a clean sheet in their last five away matches across all competitions. However, they have some quality going forward and have scored in four of those fixtures.

Head to Head

This will be the first-ever meeting between Celta Vigo and Nice.

Verdict

Celta Vigo v Nice

Celta Vigo will be keen to make their home games count, and having won at least one half in their last four matches in front of their fans, could be set for a similar pattern. The hosts have also scored first in their last four home matches and are expected to grab the opening goal here.

The Spaniards have conceded in their last six home matches, while Nice are without a clean sheet in their last five away fixtures. With neither defence looking solid at the moment, both teams are expected to score here.
