Roma vs Nice Match Live Lineups Preview, Start Date and Time

Roma vs Nice Match Live Lineups Preview, Start Date and Time. José Mourinho would have been really disappointed after the defeat at Sporting CP as the Portuguese manager continues his pre-season run with Roma in his homeland. It was the first defeat of the season for the Conference League Champions and for the first time this time of the year they faced an opponent who could actually match them.

Competition: Club Friendly Roma vs Nice
Date: 23d July 2022
Kickoff: 18:00 UTC
Venue: Estádio Municipal de Albufeira

Even wins over Sunderland and Portimonense do not bring Veselé. The Romans will have another chance to restore the faith of their supporters when they take on OGC Nice in Portugal again this Saturday. Nice, contrary to expectations, have been absolutely devastating this summer with 1 draw and 2 defeats before the real campaign begins.

It was a bittersweet first start to life in Rome for Nemanja Matic as the experienced Serbian lost 3-2 to his team in Portugal. However, when Jose Mourinho signs a player he has worked with before, it is sure to be a successful signing in the near or later future. Nice will have to be wary of the amazing trio of strikers that Roma boast in Tammy Abraham, Nicolo Zaniolo and Lorenzo Pellegrini, each of whom has always scored at least in every game. Carlos Perez off the bench is another player to watch on Saturday as he has the ability to turn a game around in a matter of minutes.

OGC Nice Team News

Christoph Galtier is rebuilding his band in Nice after his miraculous success in leading Lille to the league title a year ago. He has now roped in 17-year-old Badredin Bouanini from his previous club and even started the young midfielder in the 2-0 defeat at Fulham. Bouanini will certainly be a player to watch if he lives up to even half of his hype this coming season. Another first-team player who could feature against Mourinho’s Roma is 21-year-old midfielder Alexis Trouillet. Trouillet joins from his loan spell at Aj Auxerre and has already played 2 of 3 pre-season games.
