Nice vs Marseille: Prediction and Betting Tips

Nice having defensive problems

It has been an unstable season for Nice but Les Aiglons are somehow safe from relegation being nine points ahead of 18 placed Nantes. In their last five matches, Nice have won two games lost two, and drew one.

In their last match away to Lorient where they drew 1-1, Nice shared the possession of the ball with their opponents but couldn’t create enough chances to raise their goal tally in their last five matches that saw them score eight goals.

With 41 goals conceded in 29 matches in the league, Coach Adrian Ursea has to adjust his defensive tactics if he wants his team to grab more points in the coming games.

Marseille to secure a European spot

OM have had a lot of ups and downs this season. After the previous coach Villas-Boas was replaced by Jorge Sampaoli, Marseille started to change their level and climbed the standings to fifth place after losing only one game in their last seven matches.

Sampaoli saw his new team win both of the matches he was in charge, winning two consecutive games something Marseille haven’t done since December.

OM weren’t the better team in their last match even though they won 3-1. Sampaoli’s team had the lesser part of the ball possession with 40% but were more effective in front of goal scoring three from six goal attempts.

Key Stats

• Nice have scored in their last eight matches
• Nice have scored in their last three home matches
• Marseille have scored in five of their last six matches
• Marseille have not won in their last eight matches

Nice vs Marseille Prediction

Although Nice are 20 points behind Marseille, both teams are even in terms of form in their last four matches with both teams having won two games lost one, and drawn one. 

In all of the last four matches of Nice, both teams scored. Marseille’s last four matches saw BTTS happen twice. As we saw in their stats both of these teams have scored in most of their recent matches.

 Marseille want to hold on to their fifth place and thus need the three points. While Nice have ambitions to finish better in the table and on their part will play for the three points. All these points are made to back our prediction that Both Teams Will Score.
