Latest Nice vs AS Roma team information
Nice continues to lose veteran Dante due to a knee injury. In addition, coach Haise also has to do without the services of many long-term injuries such as Tanguy Ndombele, Mohamed Abdelmonem, Djibril Coulibaly, Ali Abdi and Youssouf Ndayishimiye. This makes Nice's midfield lack depth and must be rotated constantly.
For Roma, Paulo Dybala is doubtful after picking up an injury in the defeat to Torino and missing the Lazio derby, but he could return to the squad. Leon Bailey remains sidelined after picking up an injury in his first training session after joining on loan from Aston Villa. Wesley Franca is also doubtful, while Mario Hermoso is likely to miss out with a muscle strain.

Latest football commentary Nice vs AS Roma
Nice had a difficult start to the 2025-26 Ligue 1 season, winning only 6 points after 5 rounds and temporarily ranking 12th on the rankings.
A heavy 1-4 defeat to Brest in the last round was their third defeat of the season. In all competitions, Nice have won just 2/7 matches, scoring 6 goals and conceding 13 - a loose defense is clearly causing them to decline.
The Europa League is now seen as an opportunity for the French team to regain their spirit. Before that, they were stopped in the third qualifying round of the Champions League after losing 0-4 on aggregate to Benfica, continuing a series of difficulties in the continental arena.
Last season, Nice failed to win a single game in the Europa League group stage, finishing second to last. Coach Franck Haise knows the team needs a positive start if they do not want to continue their disappointing season.
Roma, on the other hand, are in high spirits as they travel to France. They have won three of their opening four Serie A games and are currently fourth in the table. Their latest win came in the Rome derby, when Lorenzo Pellegrini scored the only goal to beat Lazio 1-0.
The victory was a huge boost for coach Gian Piero Gasperini, who replaced Claudio Ranieri in June. The veteran tactician led Atalanta to the Europa League title in 2024 after defeating Leverkusen, and now he aims to repeat the feat with Roma.
Roma are in this season's Europa League after finishing fifth in Serie A with 69 points. Last season, they were eliminated in the round of 16 by Athletic Bilbao 4-3 on aggregate, despite winning the first leg 2-1.
European tournaments over the years have always brought Roma big milestones: winning the Europa Conference League 2022, reaching the final of the Europa League 2023, and now they continue their journey with the desire to go far.
This will be the first time Nice and Roma have met in an official competition, after their pre-season friendly in 2022-23 ended in a 1-1 draw.
