Porto vs Nice Preview

Porto are on a sensational run of form domestically. They won 10 games and drew only one game in eleven attempts to stay three clear at the top of Liga Portugal. They started the Europa League in the same fashion with strong victories as well. However, they suffered their first defeat of the season in the third matchday against Nottingham Forest. They only managed to get a point against Utrecht last time out despite having a man advantage in the final quarter. Having slipped out of the top 8, they will be keen to make amends and make moves in the table.

Francesco Fariolli, at the helm of Porto now, will face his former side, Nice. The last few games have seen Nice's season spiral out of control. The Mediterranean side lost four games in a row in all competitions. The latest of those was a 5-1 thrashing at home against Marseille. A terrible run of form saw them drop to ninth in the league. They are without a point in the Europa League after four games. Only goal difference saves them from taking the last spot. If Nice lose again today, their playoff dream might just evaporate.
