In fourth place, OGC Nice made it into the Champions League qualifiers. 17 wins, nine draws and eight defeats paved the way for this.

This is how OGC Nice last played!
OGC Nice are still in the middle of their pre-season preparations. This is an important fact for our Nice - Benfica betting tip. Neither the Ligue 1 nor the CL qualifiers have started yet for the French side. Further test matches are planned. However, there have already been clashes with Sheffield United (3:2), FC St. Pauli (0:2), Feyenoord Rotterdam (2:1) and AS Nancy (3:3) in recent weeks. At the start of preparations, tests were also played against Aubagne FC (3:0) and Cercle Brugge (2:1). We would also like to refer to the end of the last season, which saw a 6:0 home win against Stade Brest and a 0:2 away win at Stade Rennes.
OGC Nice
System: 4-4-2.
How good is Benfica's current form?
We would now like to take a closer look at the Portuguese team in today's expert tips. The championship was decided for Benfica Lisbon in the last few meters. They finished second with 80 points, just behind city rivals Sporting. The difference of two points could have been overcome in the direct duel - two match days before the end. However, there was a draw. In the end, however, 25 wins, five draws and four defeats is not a bad result. The goals scored were 84:28. Away from home, there were eleven wins, three draws and three defeats. The score is 32:16. In principle, Benfica are definitely a force to be reckoned with.Interim conclusion on Benfica Lisbon: With a little more luck or assertiveness, the team could well have become champions in Portugal. That is why they are also considered one of the favorites to qualify for the group stage of the Champions League.

Benfica went into the knockout phase against Chelsea FC as league leaders and drew 1-1 in regulation time. However, the match was then lost 4-1 in extra time. A test match against Fenerbahce Istanbul ended in a 3:2 victory. There was also a 1:0 win against Sporting Lisbon in the Super Cup.

System: 4-3-3.
