Nice’s attacking trio this season consists of new signing Omurui Benjamin, winger Boga, and Diop. However, their goal output has been limited, and their overall attacking threat remains moderate. In defense, former Bayern center-back Dante, despite his age, continues to play a key role.
Roma originally relied on forward Dybala, but he will miss this match due to injury. The tall striker A. Ferguson, signed from Brighton this season, is expected to feature. In defense, center-backs G. Mancini and El Amrani remain crucial for Roma’s stability.
Nice’s offensive firepower is modest, and at home they are likely to adopt a cautious approach. Roma has demonstrated a strong defensive style early this season, conceding few goals while scoring sparingly. As the visitors, they are expected to maintain a solid defensive setup, making a low-scoring game likely.
Prediction: 1–2 goals
