Marseille welcomes Nice to the Orange Velodrome for this crucial French Ligue 1 match. Both these teams have 50 points and also have the same goal difference. Marseille are above Nice by virtue of having scored more goals. The battle for second place and a Champions League spot next season is certainly going down to the wire and victory for either side in this match will go a long way to securing the lucrative second spot. Marseille won 4-1 in their last match away to Brest which ended a run of three matches without a win. They have an incredibly poor home record this season and are not even in the top half of teams in the league for points gained at home. Marseille have only picked up 20 points at home while they have gained 30 points away from home.

Nice have had a mini slump in their recent matches as they have won only two of their last six league matches with two losses and two draws. Prior to this run they had won five league matches in a row. They have still proven very difficult to beat away from home and have only suffered two defeats in their last 11 matches on the road across all competitions. Nice's away form in the league has been poor as they have only one win in their last six matches. Their failure to find the back of the net in away matches has been a problem as they have not scored in their last three away matches. The last time they had a worse run was in 2019 when they went four matches without scoring.
