Prediction published on 24/04/2024, 06:42  by Nella Wagah in Ligue 1 Predictions

Nice will hope to boost their Champions League hopes when they travel to Marseille for their next Ligue 1 fixture. Hosts Marseille go into this game six points off the Conference League spot while Nice are four behind the Champions League position. Marseille’s quest to qualify for Europe through their league placing suffered a blow after they drew 2-2 with Toulouse last time out. Les Minots will be thankful for Faris Moumbagna’s stoppage time goal that saved them from the jaws of defeat. While the result wasn’t positive, it was an improvement from three straight league defeats before it. The hosts will however stay positive of qualifying for Europe, as they are still in Europa League contention. Actually, their only win in seven matches was in the Europa League, beating Benfica 1-0 in the quarter-final return leg. Marseille will be worried about their defensive form coming into this game. They have one clean sheet only in the last seven matches. In those seven matches, they conceded more than a goal six times.

Nice had a better outing compared to Marseille, bouncing back with a 3-0 win over struggling Lorient. Facing the relegation-threatened side, Nice never looked to be in trouble in the game at home. Goals from Morgan Sanson, Souleymane Toure, and Evann Guessand completed an easy stroll for Les Aiglons. That also came with their second straight clean sheet, while they only failed to score in two of their last 10 matches. Having suffered only one loss in their last four matches, Nice will want to feel they’ve improved a lot from their earlier run. They also avoided defeat in the last two away matches, but have just a win in the last nine matches on the road. In recent times, Nice have dominated this fixture and will be gunning for a third straight win over Marseille. They beat Marseille 1-0 in the reverse fixture, their fourth win in the last seven meetings between these two sides. However, Nice have just a win in their last six visits to Marseille; they lost five of the six. The visitors also failed to score in six of their last 10 away league matches.
