Marseille – Nice : Preview & Prediction
Marseille and Nice, who are both second on 50 points, are in the top flight of Ligue 1. Direct access to the Champions League is the goal for both sides, but only one will be able to achieve it, not to mention that Rennes are on 49 and in the running. The hosts are struggling to find continuity, with only one win in their last four games, two defeats and a draw. Nice are undefeated in four matches with two draws and two wins.
All of Nice’s last seven league games have ended in an Under 2.5 draw.
Eighteen of Marseille’s 28 Ligue 1 matches have ended with fewer than three goals.
Nice have not conceded a goal in five consecutive games.
The two best defences in France face off, with Nice conceding 21 goals and Marseille 26.
The Ligue 1 big match between Marseille and Nice will end with the Under 2.5. Both teams have become accustomed to this result, with so many matches ending with few goals, and the reason stems directly from the two defences. The teams have built two walls, the best two in Ligue 1, and the rearguards are unlikely to give up any chances in this delicate and important match for the future, as there is a slice of qualification for the next Champions League at stake. The visitors’ attack is not exactly atomic: one goal in the last three league games, two in the last six. The attack of the hosts is more prolific, but they will have to face a defence that concedes less than one goal per match. In short, it will probably be decided by a single episode, although it is very difficult to understand who will win.
