OGC Nice will take on FK Partizan At the Allianz Riviera this Thursday evening in the Europa Conference League as the Ligue 1 side sit behind their opposition by three points here with the winners of this game set to take a giant leap towards finishing first in Group D.
It's been a complicated season for Nice so far in both Europe and France. The Ligue 1 side are currently sitting 12th on the domestic front and head into this game having not won a game since beating Troyes back at the start of October in a narrow 3-2 win.

A loss to Slovacko in the Europa Conference League came soon after, before two 1-1 draws with Auxerre and Nantes. Worse yet for Nice, they lost the other game to Slovacko at the start of the month too, meaning just one win in October.
Nice have also won just one game in the Europa Conference League, meaning they failed to win the first two, as they drew with Partizan and Koln.
In the last game against Partizan, both sides scored one goal each as Fousseni Diabate scored for the Serbian side after Joe Bryan, formerly of Fulham, scored inside the first two minutes.
Both clubs also had just three shots on target in the game, as Nice enjoyed 11 attempts towards goal, as Partizan had 13.
The Serbian giants are also trailing their arch rivals, Red Star Belgrade, in the Serbian SuperLiga ahead of this game.
Partizan have only lost once in the league, but with four draws meaning just 10 wins, they trail Red Star by seven points. On the other hand, they've let in an impressive 12 goals and scored 38 of their own.
Partizan drew 3-3 last time out to Javor in the league, and having defeated Cukarick 3-2 before that and Vojdovac 4-0 prior to that win, it does mean they are on a solid run of form in October, having also dismantled Vojvodina 4-1 at the start of the month.
Better yet, they are also on a two-game winning run in the Europa Conference League in October, having beaten Koln in Germany 1-0 and then defeated the Bundesliga side 2-0 back in Serbia.
In fact, they remain unbeaten in the Europa Conference League so far, with a draw against Nice in the last meeting between the two and another draw against Slovacko too. They've also scored seven times and let in just four goals.
Forebet predicts a draw and under 2.5 goals.
