After an encouraging draw against Real Sociedad last week (1-1), theOGC Nice returns to its Europa League campaign with its first trip in this league phase, to Rome, to challenge Lazio this Thursday evening (6:45 p.m.). An enticing poster for the Aiglons who are starting to find their feet under the tutelage of Franck Haise.
But on the other hand, Lazio remains favorite with its high-level experience. It’s a team in reconstruction, with a new coach (Marco Baroni) and many new players, explained Adrien Tameze, former Nice player now playing for Torino, in Serie A. “It’s not the Lazio we knew a few years ago but there’s still quality. Before, with Luis Alberto and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, they played a lot of ball. It still plays a role, because it’s in the club’s DNA, but I think this season, it’s a little more direct, a little more counterattacks with a little less construction. On the other hand, they have more speed than in previous years. Opposite there are former L1 players. Dia, Guendouzi. I also found a former colleague from Verona, Zaccagni, who is their captain and their best player“. The Aiglons know what to expect.

Lazio Rome : Provedel – Lazzari, Gila, Romagnoli, Tavares – Rovella, Guendouzi – Isaksen, Dia, Zaccagni – Castellanos.
