This is the first meeting between Nice and FC Twente, and the French side’s first meeting with Dutch opponents since the 2017-18 UEFA Europa League (W1 L1 vs Vitesse).
FC Twente have lost four of their five away games against French sides in all competitions, though the exception was a 1-0 win at Marseille in their most recent such match (February 2009).
Nice have lost 10 of their last 12 UEFA Europa League matches (W1 D1) since a run of four wins in six games between December 2016 and November 2017.
FC Twente are winless in their last 10 UEFA Europa League matches (D6 L4) since they had a run of seven wins in eight games in the 2011-12 season.
Only Rayan Cherki (7) and Nedim Barjami (6) have created more chances following a ball carry in the UEFA Europa League this season than Nice’s Jonathan Clauss (4).
