Nice and Real Sociedad will aim to kick off their 2024/25 UEFA Europa League campaign on a strong note when they face each other in their opening game on Wednesday.

The hosts were absolutely ruthless in their 8-0 win over Saint-Etienne in Ligue 1 in their last match. Summer recruit Youssoufa Moukoko was the star of the show with his brace.

Real Sociedad, on the other hand, come into this Europa League tie in erratic form, as they remain winless in their last five games after a 0-0 draw with Real Valladolid in their last game.

The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

This will be the first-ever match between Nice and Real Sociedad.
