Marseille vs Nice Predictions

• Marseille have the third-best home record in Ligue 1, losing only once at home this term
• Nice have lost six of their last 10 games, including three defeats in five on the road
• The visitors have lost five of six trips to Marseille and have been beaten in 17 of their last 23 visits

Marseille chase another home win

This has been a real Jekyll and Hyde season for Marseille, who have one of the best home records in Ligue 1 but the joint-worst away record. That’s left them mired in midtable, although they have been able to progress to the Europa League semis thanks to a great run a the Velodrome.

Nice may be pushing for a European place, but they will struggle to hold off a Marseille side who have suffered just one home defeat this term across all competitions.

The hosts have won eight Ligue 1 games at home and they have a brilliant record against Nice over the years. The visitors have lost five of their last six visits to the Velodrome and they’ve been beaten in 17 of their last 23 visits to the ground.

Nice have suffered six defeats across their last 10 games and they’ve suffered three defeats in their last five on the road. OM beat Benfica less than a week ago to bounce back from their Ligue 1 loss to PSG, while they snatched a rare point on the road on Sunday with a 2-2 draw at Toulouse.

The hosts’ attacking threat should prove too much for a Nice side who average 0.86 goals per away trip, so back Marseille to secure another victory at home.
