Manager Franck Haise himself admitted after the first leg that his side is \u201cnot in the same category\u201d as Benfica \u2013 a rare public statement that underlines the gulf between the two teams. With a poor away record in Europe and several injury concerns, the Eaglets will need a miracle to overturn the deficit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Form and Head-to-Head<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>First Leg:<\/strong> Nice 0\u20132 Benfica (first-ever competitive meeting)<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Benfica are <strong>unbeaten in their last six UCL games vs Ligue 1 sides<\/strong> (W3, D3).<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nice have <strong>never beaten Portuguese opposition<\/strong> in a competitive match.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Benfica have scored in <strong>22 consecutive matches<\/strong> in all competitions.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Six of Nice\u2019s last seven away matches have produced <strong>over 2.5 goals<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Team News<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benfica:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>No fresh injury concerns.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Franjo Ivanovi\u0107 scored on debut and has now opened the scoring in three consecutive matches.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nice:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Likely missing Morgan Sanson and Dante (injured in the first leg).<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mo\u00efse Bombito, Mohamed Ali-Cho, and Tanguy Ndombele are doubtful.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wing-back Jonathan Clauss remains their main creative outlet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/tz\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ChatGPT-Image-Aug-12-2025-02_59_56-PM-683x1024.png\" alt=\"Benfica vs Nice Prediction &amp; Betting Tips \u2013 UCL Qualifier 2025\" class=\"wp-image-5433\" style=\"width:831px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/tz\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ChatGPT-Image-Aug-12-2025-02_59_56-PM-683x1024.png 683w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/tz\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ChatGPT-Image-Aug-12-2025-02_59_56-PM-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/tz\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ChatGPT-Image-Aug-12-2025-02_59_56-PM-768x1152.png 768w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/tz\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ChatGPT-Image-Aug-12-2025-02_59_56-PM-150x225.png 150w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/tz\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ChatGPT-Image-Aug-12-2025-02_59_56-PM-300x450.png 300w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/tz\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ChatGPT-Image-Aug-12-2025-02_59_56-PM-696x1044.png 696w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/tz\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ChatGPT-Image-Aug-12-2025-02_59_56-PM.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Players to Watch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Franjo Ivanovi\u0107 (Benfica):<\/strong> In red-hot form, lethal in front of goal, and a constant threat to break the deadlock.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Jonathan Clauss (Nice):<\/strong> Offers attacking width and a late goal threat, but faces a tough challenge against Benfica\u2019s solid defense.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prediction and Betting Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The gap in quality, form, and mentality is too wide to ignore.
