Key stats

  • This is the first UEFA competition match between these teams.
  • Celta are without a win in their previous four UEFA matches against French teams (D2 L2). They drew both of their home fixtures (0-0 vs Marseille 1998/99 UEFA Cup quarter-final second leg and 0-0 vs Lens 1999/00 UEFA Cup quarter-final first leg).
  • Celta have lost only two of their last nine UEFA competition matches (W5 D2).
  • Celta are unbeaten in their previous nine UEFA competition group/league matches at home (W4 D5).
  • Borja Iglesias has scored in Celta’s previous two UEFA Europa League matches this season.
  • Nice have lost all their previous four UEFA matches away from home against Spanish teams.
  • Nice are without a win in their last 14 UEFA competition matches (D4 L10).

Celta Vigo vs Nice prediction

Celta Vigo come into this one on the back of a 1-1 draw with Real Sociedad in Galicia at the weekend. Staggeringly, seven of their nine La Liga matches thus far have finished 1-1. In the UEFA Europa League, they lost 2-1 to Stuttgart in Germany before a 3-1 victory over PAOK Salonika a few weeks ago.

Under the management of Lucien Faivre, Nice are dealing with the off-field neglect inflicted upon them by the mismanagement of INEOS, who have said they are prioritising Manchester United. They did manage a much-needed and thrilling 3-2 victory over Olympique Lyonnais at the Allianz Riviera at the weekend.

With their home advantage and a comfortable and impressive win against PAOK the other day, the sensible bet is still to side with the Galicians this midweek.
