It has been a disappointing start to the season for Marseille, as their recent setbacks have seen them drop to sixth in the standings. They face an interesting challenge on Saturday, as they come up against Nice, who currently sit second in the league table.
Ligue 1 Preview
Nice will be delighted with the start to the season that they have made this term, as they currently sit second in the French standings. A victory on Saturday could see them end the round at the top of the table, as they currently only sit one point behind Monaco at this early stage.
Nice are the only side in the division that are still sporting an unbeaten record this term, as they have won four and drawn four across their opening eight matches. But, they are the joint-lowest scorers of the sides in the top ten places. But, they also boast the best defensive record in the competition, as they have allowed just four goals. Nice will be looking for a second straight win in the competition this weekend.
It has been a challenging start to the season for Marseille, as they currently find themselves sitting in sixth place in the standings. The French giants could move up to fourth with a victory this weekend, and their chances would have certainly been aided before the international break as they returned to winning ways after going four without a victory.
However, their away record is a key area of concern ahead of this fixture on Saturday, as they are winless in their last seven matches on the road. They haven’t gone on a longer winless sequence on their travels since going ten without a win between December 2020 and April 2021.
Nice vs Marseille Head to Head
Marseille have a fine overall record in this fixture, as they have landed 58 wins against Nice in Ligue 1. The French giants have recorded the most wins against a single opponent in the competition against Nice. Over the same period, Nice have recorded just 28 wins.
Nice vs Marseille Prediction
This is a fascinating fixture in Ligue 1 on Saturday. Nice have started the season excellently, but their scoring record remains a concern. Therefore, a chance will be taken on Marseille to end their poor away record after looking back to their best with a fine 3-0 win before the international break.
