European football returns to Nice with Les Aiglons gearing up for a big home game against Real Sociedad in the UEFA Europa League on Wednesday evening.
Franck Haise's side come into this fixture in great shape after their resounding 8-0 victory over Saint-Etienne in Ligue 1.
Sociedad are regulars in European competitions and last season reached the last-16 of the UEFA Champions League, however they head into this game on the back of some disappointing domestic form, with only one victory in seven La Liga games played.
Wednesday’s match between Nice and Real Sociedad will be available to watch live on TNT Sports 3 throughout the UK.
Nice v Real Sociedad kicks off at 20:00 BST on Wednesday 25th September and will be staged at the Allianz Riviera in Nice, France.
Nice and Real Sociedad have never met before, while the French outfit have won three of 11 previous matches against Spanish opponents, with two draws and five defeats.
Similarly, Sociedad’s record against French clubs is not great, with eight defeats and only four wins from 15 matches in total.
Nice will once again be without Jérémie Boga, Terem Moffi, Morgan Sanson, Gaëtan Laborde and Hicham Boudaoui for this match.
Sociedad coach Imanol Alguacil is without the missing trio of Arsen Zakharyan, Alvaro Odriozola and Hamari Traoré again.
However, Brais Mendez and Javi Lopez return to the squad and Nayef Aguerd is cleared to play after going off with an injury against Real Valladolid last weekend.
