JAKARTA - Lazio will play their second Europa League match 2024/2025 to host Nice at the Stadio Olimpico on Thursday, October 3, 2024, at 23.45 WIB.

Two of them were experienced when they met Lazio in the 2017/2018 Europa League. In total of the six defeats, Nice had a landslide record, 13 conceded and only scored once.

Statistics clearly don't side with Les Aiglons, Nice's nickname. Their good record in Ligue 1 also doesn't seem to help.

As is known, Nice beat promoted Saint-Etienne 8-0 at Allianz Riviera.

Then, after a goalless draw against Lens on the weekend, Nice are now unbeaten in three games. They sit ninth in the Ligue 1 standings.

The motivation to break the bad record of meeting with the Italian team plus the target of finishing in the last eight of the Europa League can indeed be put forward by Nice. Moreover, Los Aiglons won one point in the opening match of the Europa League against Real Sociedad (1-1).

Moreover, Nice needs to count in the squad's election against Lazio. They have to make a priority scale considering there is a schedule against Paris Saint-Germain in the league this weekend after returning from Italy.

Franck Haise could possibly not lower his best composition against Lazio to gain important points against PSG.
