Europa League preview: Nice has lost 13 consecutive games in Europe, Freiburg’s recent competitive form is stable
6686 Sports reported on November 6 that in the fourth round of the Europa League, the Nice home team faced Freiburg.
Nice has continued its usual "bad attitude" in the Europa League this season. It suffered three consecutive defeats in the first three rounds and has failed to win 13 consecutive European games. In the Europa League last season, the team only achieved 3 draws and 5 losses, and finally ranked second to last and was eliminated in disgrace. The last time Nice won in a European war was back in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League 1/8 finals in the 2022/23 season, when the team defeated Sharif 3-1 at home.
However, in Ligue 1, Nice's recent competitive status is pretty good. They have won three consecutive victories before. In the last round of the visiting team, they faced Paris Saint-Germain. The team also held on for 90 minutes until the last shot was taken in stoppage time. The visiting team lost 0-1.
A more interesting statistic is that Nice's first three Europa League games this season all resulted in 1-2 results. Although the team failed to win, their offensive performance was acceptable. Before being shut out by Paris in the last game, the team once scored in 12 consecutive games.
In terms of personnel, Klaus will be suspended and will not be able to play in this game because he received a sending off card in the last round of the game against Celta Vigo. In addition, Murphy, Ndayisimiya, Abdulmonem, and Pombito will all be absent due to injuries.
In comparison, Freiburg's attitude towards the European war is much higher. In the first three rounds of competition, the team achieved 2 wins and 1 draw and remained unbeaten, and basically sent out core players to challenge in every game, which is very worthy of recognition.
Recently, Freiburg has performed quite well on all fronts. The team has achieved 5 wins, 5 draws and 1 loss in the past 11 games, with an unbeaten rate of over 90%. Previously, it also successfully eliminated Dusseldorf in the German Cup and advanced. The overall performance is very stable.
However, it should be noted that Freiburg's recent style of play has been relatively conservative. The team has failed to score in 3 of the last 6 games, including two 0-0 games. The team's offensive end sometimes misfires.
In terms of personnel, Osterhauch, Dinch, and Chierre will all be absent from this game due to injuries, but the absence of the above three people will not have much impact on the team.
The two teams have not played against each other in recent years. However, judging from the recent competitive state and attitude towards the European war, although Freiburg is fighting in the away team, there is still a good chance to take away points from the away team.
