Marseille is heading into this match in poor form, having lost four of their last five games. They’ve been struggling to get results, and that’s a worrying sign for them. Their only recent bright spot was a narrow win away from home, but they’ve lost their last two matches since then. Nice, on the other hand, hasn’t been much better—they’ve lost once and drawn three of their last five, including two goalless draws. Neither team is in great shape right now, so this could be a tight, low-scoring affair.

When these two sides have met recently, games have often been close but with goals. Their last five meetings have seen an average of just under four goals per game, including a 1-1 draw, a 5-1 win for Nice, and a 2-0 result for Marseille. That suggests that while recent form is poor, this fixture can sometimes produce a flurry of goals. However, given both teams’ current struggles, it’s hard to pick a clear winner. This one feels like it could end in a draw.
