Prediction published on 05/02/2023, 07:47  by Daniel Ngulu in Ligue 1 Predictions

Olympique Marseille have gone on a good run and will hope to keep it going when they play at home to Nice in their next Ligue 1 game. Marseille have managed 46 points ahead of this game and they are second in the standings while ninth placed Nice have 31 points. Coming into this game, Marseille beat Nantes 2-0 for their ninth win in 10 matches across all competitions. They haven’t lost in the 10 matches. In Ligue 1 action, Marseille are unbeaten in nine games; seven of those are wins. In their last five league matches, they have scored two or more goals in four. They go into this game looking to cut PSG’s lead to six points and they have to improve on their 1-1 draw with Monaco in their last home league match. Prior to that draw, Marseille had posted three straight wins at home in the league and they will want to return to that form.

Nice have been registering good results in their recent matches and will want to keep this run going as they visit Marseille. In recent times, this hasn’t been an opponent they’ve prevailed against. In the last 11 league matches against Marseille, Nice have managed just one win. They have lost nine of the 11 meetings. However, a run of four unbeaten matches ahead of this will give Nice the psychological boost needed. They are coming from a 1-0 win away to third placed Lens and will feel they can extend the same to second placed Marseille. The fact that they haven’t scored more than a goal in eight of their last 10 matches will however come as a major concern, given the scoring form Marseille are in. In their last three matches in Ligue 1, they have posted three clean sheets, which they will want to uphold against one of the best attacking sides.
