Team form
Nexe
Nexe enters the match with a mixed bag of recent performances. Out of their last five matches, they found the net an average of 28.6 times per game while conceding 30.6. This inconsistency has been highlighted by consecutive losses against Vojvodina, Vardar 1961, and Trimo Trebnje, which resulted in significant pressure as they look to improve their defensive organization. However, they did end on a positive note, pulling off a victory against Olympiacos SFP and securing a narrow win against Besiktas earlier in August. With two victories amidst the struggles, Nexe has shown potential but will need to find further coherence in both defense and attack to translate their local form into European competition.

With an average of 27.3 goals scored and 30.8 conceded over their latest matches, consistency has been an issue for the French side. Their last match ended in a loss against Saran, preceding defeats by Tremblay and Limoges, demonstrating a pattern of difficulty defensively. Nevertheless, St. Raphael has been able to hold their own against Dunkerque, indicating they also have the capability of winning. They will go into this match seeking to shore up their defense while leveraging their attacking talents to secure essential points early in the group stage.
