Nice vs Freiburg prediction 06.11.2025 | Europa League

Last season Nice ended in the fourth position in the Ligue 1, but after unsuccessful Champions League qualifications, Haise's team had to settle for the Europa League. Although the team from Allianz Riviera expected a lot from that competition, Nice lost all three matches so far and now urgently needs points. In the French Ligue 1, Haise's team is solid, collecting 17 points in 11 games. Nice played well recently as they won two of the last three matches. In the most recent outing, Nice lost 1-0 on the road against PSG. Although the home side was dominant throughout the game, the guests defended well until the second half's stoppage time, when PSG finally broke Nice's well-organized defense.

Nice's head coach, Franck Haise, was disappointed that his team conceded late in the game. He said, "We know that it can happen, in sport, there are moments of joy and crueler moments, we knew that Paris was superior, we didn't need to see this match to know that, we defended for a long time and to take this goal with five seconds to go, it's sure it's hard to swallow, but nevertheless we're going to have to do it."

Nice have some problems with missing players ahead of the game against Freiburg. Youssouf Ndayishimiye, Teremas Moffi, Dante, Mohamed-Ali Cho, Moise Bombito, Mohamed Abdelmonem, and Jonathan Clauss are out for the upcoming tie. Also, Sofiane Diop is questionable after sustaining a hamstring injury last weekend against PSG.

Freiburg are among the best German teams in recent years. This season, they are looking more like a mid-table team in the Bundesliga, as too many draws cost them a better position. However, Freiburg are in a good position in the Europa League, where they have collected seven points in three rounds. Freiburg won only two of the last five matches. In the previous game, they played 0-0 on the road against Union Berlin. The teams were pretty even throughout the match, so a draw was probably the fairest outcome. 

Freiburg have almost a full squad for Thursday. Daniel-Kofi Kyereh will miss the upcoming clash, while Patrick Osterhage is questionable, and his status will be clearer closer to the kickoff.
