Nice is aiming for the semi-finals. In a match of great importance for the French UEFA coefficient, the Aiglons travel to Switzerland to face FC Basel, Thursday April 13 at 9 p.m., in the quarter-finals of the Europa League conference. Despite the defeat against Paris Saint-Germain in the league last weekend (2-0), the Aiglons want to surf on the positive dynamics driven by the arrival of Didier Digard, their new coach who arrived in January.
Far from its standards in the league, where it disappoints with a sixth place currently, FC Basel dreams of saving its season in the European Cup. After dismissing the Turks from Trabzonspor in the round of 16, the Swiss found Slovan Bratislava, who had beaten them in the group stages, in the next round. Qualified on penalties, the partners of Jean-Kévin Augustin arrive in the quarter-finals in the shoes of the outsider against OGC Nice.
