Allianz Riviera sets the scene for a Europa League knockout qualifier as OGC Nice host SC Braga on Thursday, 11th December 2025 at 18:45 WAT / 17:45 CET.
The Aiglons, 36th with 0 points after a 0-1 Ligue 1 loss at Angers (late heartbreak), desperately need a first win amid 5 straight defeats (3:14 GD). Braga, 7th on 10 points post a 2-1 away win at Famalicao (Rifkind winner), chase round of 32 with 3 Europa wins in 5. Nice’s home fragility (0W in 3) meets Braga’s road prowess (2W in 4 aways), but H2H favors draws: 3 straight (last 0-0 in Dec 2025). Injuries: Nice sans Boudaoui; Braga full squad.
