Nice vs Rangers Betting Tips - BTTS
Nice come into Thursday's Europa League contest in desperate need of the points after failing to win any of their first four league phase fixtures.
With only two points collected, Les Aiglons have struggled on the European stage although they did show some heart to claim a 2:2 comeback draw against Twente last time out.
Still, the hosts have enjoyed some good form in recent weeks, remaining unbeaten in their last five matches, including a 2:1 win against Strasbourg on Sunday.
Strong at the Allianz Arena, Franck Haise´s side have yet to taste defeat in eight games played in home games this season, although five of those matches finished as draws (W3, D5).
Reliable in the goal markets, seven of Nice´s last eight home games since August saw both teams score, while three of four UEL matches also finished with the same outcome.
Rangers make the trip to France after a disappointing 1:1 draw against Dundee Utd last weekend. Vaclav Cerny´s second-half strike rescued a point that leaves the Gers trailing Celtic by 11 points in the Scottish Premiership.
The Gers have shown better form in European competition with seven points picked up from their four Europa League fixtures. Philippe Clement´s men picked up an impressive 1:1 draw against Olympiakos in their most recent away UEL contest.
Given their experience at this level, I expect the Scots to test their French hosts and both teams should be expected to score.
BTTS is my top tip, and I wouldn't be surprised to see the spoils shared at Allianz Arena.
