Nice vs Marseille Predictions

• Nice are unbeaten at home in Ligue 1 since August.
• Marseille have five defeats in eight trips across all competitions.
• Marseille have lost at the Allianz Riviera in each of the last two seasons.

Nice can dent Marseille’s title charge

Marseille could move to the top of the Ligue 1 table with a victory in the south of France on Friday, temporarily at least, but hosts Nice may be able to at least deny them three points.

Les Aiglons are on a three-game losing streak but one of those losses came at PSG, also losing out to Germany’s Freiburg at this venue and at Metz.

Nice haven’t lost at home in Ligue 1 since the opening round of fixtures and since then they’ve claimed 13 points from a possible 15, picking up wins over Lyon and Lille on the way.

L’OM are riding high in second place but they have been far stronger at home, with three wins and three losses in six trips so far.

The Allianz Arena has been a tough hunting ground for Marseille in recent years as they have lost at this venue in each of the last two seasons, and have won just one of their last six visits across all competitions stretching back to 2019. Nice may be out of form, but their home record makes them look a strong play in the double chance market against inconsistent travellers Marseille.

As Marseille are yet to draw on the road and Nice are a bit of an all-or-noting team, with just two stalemates in 12 league games, a 2-1 home win is the correct score pick. Marseille have scored in six consecutive away games across all competitions and that run has included three 2-1 losses.
