Nice vs Hapoel Beer Sheva Prediction, Betting Tips & Prediction

Nice vs Hapoel Beer Sheva
UEFA Europa League
Date: Thursday, October 29, 2024
Starts at 21pm UK / 00pm CET
Location: Allianz Riviera.

The eagles are cornered with a bad opening game in the competition, and now they have to win at all costs this Thursday and still have good chances of reaching the knockouts.

For this second match of the group stage, they face HBS, with the Israeli team currently in second place in the table, with a victory in their first match.

The French contingent will likely occupy the last place in today's table, while their colleagues of the day occupy the second place in the standings.

Thus, Patrick Vieira's men would lose by six points if they lost in the next encounter.

The fact that the eagles belong to the French Ligue 1 (one of the top five leagues in Europe) carries weight, as their rivals are top-tier Israelis, a national competition that pales in comparison to the French ones.

Also, Yossi Abukasis' men have been in for a terrible road race these last few months. As such, he expects Nice to be the best team in this week's game, at Allianz Riviera.

• This is the first face-to-face meeting between the two teams.

Nice vs Hapoel Beer Sheva: Prediction

Vieira's charges lost 6-2 away from home on the last day of the competition, against favorites Bayer Leverkusen. The defeat left the French contingent desperate for the three points on Thursday, which makes them dangerous.

Meanwhile, HBS recorded a 3-1 home win against Slavia Prague. Still, they are in the weaker Israeli Premier League, compared to Ligue 1, where the Eagles regularly take on some of the best teams in the world.

Moving forward, the Eagles' only home loss in eight months has come to PSG, and that's also the only game they haven't managed to score at this stadium in the last 15 months.

On the other hand, the men of Abukasis had lost four of their previous six games away from home and had also failed to win nine of their previous ten games.

With those observations in mind, expect Nice to secure all three points this week's game quite comfortably.
