Match preview
Nice are back in European competition, so they’re hoping this won’t be the only stop of their tour.
Last season, the Eagles finished fifth in Ligue 1, dramatically beating Stade Reims on the final day to secure that coveted position.
The French side have previously featured in three Europa League group phases, these coming in 2016, 2017 and 2020.
So, will Lucien Favre’s team come through this tie.
It certainly won’t be easy with Maccabi Tel Aviv fancying their chances of a big upset.
They Yellows began their latest European adventure by swatting aside Zira before, just about, overcoming Aris Thessaloniki.
In the third qualifying round, following a 2-0 victory at Bloomfield Stadium, the Israeli side lost 2-1 in Greece; Eran Zahavi scoring in both legs.
To date, Maccabi Tel Aviv have qualified for eight UEFA group stages, including in this competition just last season.
If they’re to make that nine, they’ll need to cause a bit of an upset.
