FC Koln will entertain Nice at the RheinEnergieStadion in their final UEFA Europa Conference League group-stage game on Thursday.

Koln will be going into this game following a 1-1 draw against Hoffenheim last time out. They currently sit at 3rd position in their Europa Conference League group as opposed to their visitors who are the group leaders. In their home league, Koln sit at 10th position with 17 points. They have been often weak at the defence, as they conceded 23 goals in 12 games. A weakness that their visitors will be looking to exploit. In their last 6 games overall, Koln have 3 losses, one draw and one narrow win. In that same time period, they conceded a total of 15 goals, showing how horrible they have been at the back this season.

Nice on the other hand will head into this game as the group leaders. They have 2 wins and 2 draws from the 5 games played in the Conference League so far, a decent performance that has earned them top spot. Nice are currently on a 4 game unbeaten run, with a victory over Lorient the last time out. They will be looking to build on that momentum and continue their streak. In their last 6 games, Nice have managed to score a total of 10 times, and have been rewarded for their efforts with 3 victories and 2 draws. The reverse fixture at Allianz Riviera in September ended in a 1-1 draw and Nice will be looking for a better result this time around.

The home side have struggled a bit in their recent games, losing four of their last seven encounters. Nice on the other hand have suffered just one defeat in their last seven away games and should be able to put in a solid performance in this game. We are Predicting that the away side, Nice, will do enough to prevent a defeat here, by earning a hard fought draw or by securing a victory and taking all three points at the end of the game.

周四，在欧洲联盟杯小组赛的最后一场比赛中，科隆将在莱茵能源球场迎战尼斯。

科隆在上一次1-1战平霍芬海姆之后，将参加这场比赛。他们目前在欧联杯联赛小组中排名第三，而他们的客队则是小组第一。在他们的主场联赛中，科隆以17分排名第10。在12场比赛中丢了23球的情况下，他们的防守常常很弱。这是他们的访客想要利用的弱点。在过去的6场比赛中，科隆3负1平1胜。在同一时期，他们总共丢了15个球，这表明他们本赛季的后防线有多糟糕。

另一方面，尼斯队将以小组第一的身份进入这场比赛。到目前为止，他们在西部联赛的5场比赛中取得了2胜2平的成绩，出色的表现为他们赢得了榜首的位置。尼斯目前已经保持了4场不败，最后一次击败洛里昂。他们将寻求在这种势头的基础上继续他们的连胜。在过去的6场比赛中，尼斯一共取得了10个进球，他们的努力也得到了3胜2平的回报。9月份与安联的比赛以1-1战平结束，尼斯希望这次能取得更好的成绩。

主队在最近的比赛中有些挣扎，在最近的7场比赛中输掉了4场。另一方面，尼斯在最近的7场客场比赛中只输了一场，他们应该能够在这场比赛中有稳定的表现。我们预测，客场的尼斯将会尽力避免在这里输球，他们可能会获得一场艰难的平局，也可能会在比赛结束时获得一场胜利并拿到全部三分。
