The match

Marseille have moved above Lens into second place in Ligue 1. They look to continue their good form with a home win over eighth placed Nice who are 15 points below them. Marseille are now only five points behind leaders PSG who they face in the French Cup just three days after this match and in Ligue 1 at the end of this month.  They are in great form with seven wins and a draw in their last eight league games.  At home, the hosts have been especially dominant, with four wins and a draw in their last five games at the Velodrome, scoring twelve goals in the process. In their last five home meetings against Nice, Marseille has come out victorious, making them favorites to win this match. 

Nice has been making progress under coach Digard and are coming off a huge away win against Lens in midweek which brought them to eighth place in the standings. They are still nine points behind the final European qualifying position.  Their recent form has seen a shift towards a more defensive style of play, which has been working wonders as they've kept three consecutive clean sheets, with four of their last five matches featuring less than two goals. However, their away record remains problematic with only one win in seven away games this season. 

Key Statistics

  • Marseille has won their last five home meetings against Nice
  • Marseille has four wins and a draw in their last five home games
  • Nice has only one win in seven away games this season and five of those seven saw under 2.5 goals
  • Nice has kept three consecutive clean sheets in their last three games
  • Marseille is in excellent form, with seven wins and a draw in their last eight games

The bet of our experts

In what should be a tense battle between two teams in form, Marseille have been the more consistent of the two this season, and it is worth backing them at home to prevail. Thus, our prediction for this Marseille vs Nice clash is a home win, with under 2.5 goals being a great side bet.
