Nice vs Marseille Predictions

• Nice are unbeaten in Ligue 1 this term
• Marseille have lost to PSG and Monaco on the road this term
• The visitors have lost five of their last seven Ligue 1 trips

Nice shaping up as title contenders

While it’s easy to get overexcited at a good start after eight games of the season, Nice are proving early on that they could be in for a special campaign. Not only do they sit second in the table with 16 points to their name, but some high-profile wins suggest they’re a side to be reckoned with.

The hosts are unbeaten in Ligue 1 this term, while they’ve already claimed away wins at their fellow top three sides. They pulled off a 1-0 victory at Monaco and a 3-2 win at PSG, so they are a team to fear – especially given Marseille’s record of late.

Hosts to continue great run

Marseille are winless in their last seven away games in Ligue 1, suffering five defeats in that run. They’ve already lost at both Monaco and PSG this term and their record on the road could be about to get even worse.

Marseille haven’t managed back-to-back league clean sheets since September last year and they’ve conceded at least twice in four of their last five games in all competitions. Meanwhile, Nice have kept five clean sheets this season in Ligue 1. No team in the big five European leagues has had more, so back the hosts to hold firm against a leaky Marseille side this weekend.
