Nice – Marseille : Preview & Prediction
OGC Nice and Olympique de Marseille are neck and neck in Ligue 1 with 4 points each after two days. After 2 draws in front of AC Milan (1-1) in a friendly and against Reims (0-0), the Aiglons woke up in Lille last weekend, humiliating the LOSC at the Pierre-Mauroy stadium on the final score 4 goals to 0 thanks to a double from Danish international Kasper Dolberg. A nice wink for Christophe Galtier, the former coach of the northern club, who will now want to confirm against Olympique de Marseille, his former club as a player. The Marseille club, which beat St Etienne (2-1) and Villareal (2-1) in preparation matches, has entered the championship well. Victorious over Montpellier (3-2), Marseille was held in check by Bordeaux (2-2) at home despite having led 2 goals to 0 at the break. The partners of Dimitri Payet (3 goals), the man in form, fished defensively, conceding his 4th goal at the end of this 2nd day of the championship. If the attack is a hit (5 goals), on the other hand the Olympian defense shows big signs of feverishness at the start of the season to the dismay of the Argentinian technician Sampaoli.
The last 3 direct confrontations ended with at least 3 goals per game (2-1, 3-2 and 0-3).
The +2.5 goals have passed in OM’s last 4 matches.
OGC Nice remains on 1 large success in Lille (4-0).
