Cologne vs Nice Betting predictions and Free Tips by Football Ground Guide

Cologne hosts Nice in the last group-stage clash in Europa Conference League Group D. It is a do-or-die clash because the winner will have a chance in the next round of the competition. Below are our best free picks for the game.

First team to score prediction: Cologne

Cologne or Koln could have won the first leg but they didn’t do any better in the second half of that encounter despite opening the lead in the 19^th minute. They had 3 shots on target in the first half and only one in the second. Nice improved massively in the second half to get 5 shots on target, up from two in the first half. We think with a home advantage in this second meeting, Cologne can score first yet again.

Half-time result prediction: Draw

The first leg was a game at par. Ball possession wasn’t far from being equal as Cologne had 52% while Nice had 48 per cent. With both teams having a chance to be in the playoffs, the second encounter will even be tighter. Bet on a draw in the first half.

Correct score prediction: 1-0 to Cologne

The last Cologne vs Nice prediction for a Cologne prediction is Koln to win 1-0. Nice equalized through a spot kick in the first leg. The French side has 6 goals in five games, one of which was the spot kick against Cologne. The hosts have also scored 6 in as many games and they have been lucky to convert 2 out of 3 penalties. With home support, Cologne should win narrowly by a goal to nil.

Cologne vs Nice Europa Conference League Fixture Preview

Cologne

Cologne needs a win to secure either a second or first spot in Group D of the Europa Conference League. They have 2 wins and 1 draw in five games. Two losses have been huge setbacks but after managing to get a draw of 1-1 away in Nice, the German side can pose a real threat to Nice's chances of advancing to the next round in this last group-stage game at home.

Nice

Nice couldn’t bag all the points in the first leg at home. They settled for the spoils after a second-half equalizer in the 62^nd minute through a spot kick via Andy Delort. Nice survived by a whisker after going down 1-0 early in the first half. This away game against the German opponents could be the last test on litmus paper for head coach, Lucien Favre who faces a threat of getting sacked after a series of poor results. Lucien took over Nice reigns in July 2022 but has since posted only 7 wins in 20 games. Six draws haven’t salvaged his dwindling popularity at the helm.
