Europa League: Porto vs Nice 27/11/2025

Combo Bet

After the victories against Salzburg and Crvena zvezda, Porto collected only one point in their next two Europa League matches — an unacceptable return for a club with ambitions to go all the way in this competition. It can be said that coach Farioli paid the price for unnecessary rotations and a certain underestimation of his opponents, which now leaves Porto entering the final stretch of the group stage with no room for further mistakes.

On the other side stands Nice, along with Rangers the only team without a single point in the competition. The French side is in disastrous form with four consecutive defeats, and last weekend brought a true humiliation in front of their home fans when Marseille beat them by a huge 5:1. Coach Franck Haise is facing a serious challenge: he must lift the team mentally, and they now travel to one of the toughest away grounds in Europe. Porto almost never drops points at home, and the club’s ambitions are clear — they are aiming for direct qualification to the Round of 16 and simply cannot afford to slip again.

Since their last European match, Porto have significantly raised their level of play, especially defensively, and with the backing of the home crowd an aggressive approach and high tempo are expected. If things function as they have in recent games, the hosts should be able to break down the out-of-form Nice with relative ease.
