Nice conclude their league phase campaign of the UEFA Europa League with a home game against Bodo/Glimt at Allianz Riviera on Thursday. The hosts have been eliminated from the competition, while Den Gule Horde are in contention to qualify directly for the Round of 16.
Les Aiglons returned to winning ways on Sunday after consecutive defeats, with a 2-0 home win over local rivals Marseille in Ligue 1. Evann Guessand scored in the first half and provided the assist for Mohamed-Ali Cho's second-half strike. Nice lost 1-0 to Elfsborg in the Europa League last week.
Bodo, meanwhile, played their first competitive match of the year last week, registering a 3-1 home win over Maccabi Tel Aviv. Kasper Hogh bagged a brace, and Hakon Evjen scored in the 62nd minute. A win here could help them book a place in the Round of 16, as they are assured of a place in the knockout round play-offs.

Nice vs Bodo/Glimt Prediction
Nice have been in good touch in 2025, winning four of their six games. They are on a three-game winning streak at home. Interestingly, they have endured a winless run in the Europa League thus far, with two of their three home games ending in draws.
Jeremie Boga, Moise Bombito, Terem Moffi, Victor Orakpo and Morgan Sanson are sidelined with injuries while Pablo Rosario is a doubt. Tom Louchet will serve a suspension due to the accumulation of yellow cards.
The visitors have won their last three games, scoring 10 goals. They have lost just one of their last six away games, with three drawn. They didn't play over the weekend and should be able to field a strong starting XI.
Nice have an impressive home record this season and should hold the visitors to a low-scoring draw.
Prediction: Nice 1-1 Bodo/Glimt
