Nice vs Marseille

Marseille will be aiming to maintain the pressure on leaders PSG when they travel to Nice for a Friday night French Ligue 1 fixture.

Both teams had looked a bit wobbly prior to the international break and will be keen to get things back on track. Poor defending has been part of the problem here, and goals could be expected.

Nice News

The international break seemed to have come at the right time for Nice, who are currently on a three-match losing run. They suffered a 2-1 defeat at Metz in their previous fixture despite taking the lead through Mohamed-Ali Cho.

Sitting ninth in the table, the task for Nice will be to find some momentum and shoot up the table. However, their recent home form has been unconvincing, with two wins and as many defeats in their last five matches across all competitions at Allianz Riviera.

One of the problems for Nice is a vulnerable backline that has failed to keep a clean sheet in nine of their last 10 matches across all competitions. However, Franck Haise's team have also scored in nine of those 10 matches, while seven fixtures on this run have produced over 2.5 goals.

Marseille News

Things have also been a bit erratic for Marseille lately, picking up just two wins from their last six matches across all competitions. However, they went into the international break with a 3-0 home victory over Brest in their previous Ligue 1 fixture, with Mason Greenwood and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang among the goals.

Marseille have a much different task from the hosts as they sit just two points off the pace in the table and will be keen to maintain the pressure on the leaders. However, Roberto De Zerbi's team have also been a bit erratic on their travels, with three wins and two defeats in their last five away matches across all competitions.

Led by Greenwood and Aubameyang, goals have not been a problem for Marseille, who have scored first in five of their last six away matches. Five of those matches have also produced over 2.5 goals, while they are without a clean sheet in four fixtures on this run.

Head to Head

Nice and Marseille have picked up five wins each, with two draws in the last 12 matches. Both teams won their home fixture last season, with the two clashes ending 2-0.

Verdict

Nice v Marseille

Nice and Marseille have shown some defensive frailties lately, and given their attacking qualities, both teams could be backed to score here. The hosts have seen over 2.5 goals in seven of their last 10 matches, and a similar outcome could be considered here.

Having opened the scoring in five of their last six away matches, Marseille could be tipped to grab the first goal on Friday.
