“Bookmaker Ratings” believes that the quarter-final of the French Cup will present an interesting match, in which Nice against Marseille will play.
Nice ended an excellent marking of five victories in Ligue 1 last weekend. The Eaglets very unexpectedly lost at their home arena to Clermont (0:1), one of their biggest rivals in the cup competitions in second place.
Marseille, in turn, opened the last round of the championship, and gave a cool comeback at their home arena game with Angers. The southerners burned 0:2, but eventually crushed the opponent, scoring five goals.
At the same time, Nice opened the way to the cup trophy, not only for themselves, but also for other teams by beating Paris in the 1/8 finals on penalties. Marseille at the previous stage of the tournament, competed with Montpellier in a similar format (2:1).
In this quarter-final of the French Cup, bookmakers do not determine a favorite. This season, the opponents have met only once, dividing the points in the first round match of Ligue 1 on the Eagles field (1:1).
Taking into consideration the five previous fights, the advantage is on the side of Marseille – three wins, against one from the opponent and one world outcome.
What to bet on in this game? If you do not take into account the last game in the championship, then Nice eliminated systematic errors in defense. Accordingly, the Eagles went down in three games in a row. In addition, Marseille have kept their net clean in five of their last six away matches.
What does all this mean? Given that PSG have already left the cup, the winner of this pair will automatically become one of the main contenders for the title. And in such a situation, the teams of Galtier and Sampaoli need to perform without any unnecessary failures in defense. We suppose that the match will turn out to be stubborn, and the opponents will not exceed the bar of two goals scored. We will go for a bet on a total under 2.5 goals.
