Seville, Saint-Etienne, Rubin Kazan, Stuttgart, Udineseโฆ Great European clubs are facing off tonight in the third qualifying round of the Europa League. For the Nice team, who will enter the playoffs on August 22, they will have to wait until this Friday, August 9, to know their opponents.
We also have to count on the other qualified teams for this playoff round, and they are not to be underestimated as they include Tottenham, Fiorentina, Spartak Moscow, Dynamo Kiev, and Eintracht Frankfurt. Therefore, it might be tough competition to face in order to open the doors to the group stage, which is as interesting to play as it is lucrative for the club’s finances.
It’s imagined that the protรฉgรฉs of Claude Puel and Jean-Pierre Rivรจre will have an attentive ear this Friday during the draw before facing, the next day on their territory for the first day of the championship, an Olympique Lyonnais that could very well join the Nice team in the Europa League in case of a misstep tonight in Zurich.
A true European affair!
