Goal Statistics

Union Saint Gilloise's fans will be hoping for goals on Thursday evening, not least because Nice have conceded in each of their last 5 Europa League games. A PG of 1.8 for S. Pocognoli's side suggests that run should continue.

Union Saint Gilloise's defensive record is very strong, S. Pocognoli's men having conceded 1 or less in 5 consecutive Europa League games. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.0 for Nice makes sense in this context.
