Nice will be looking to put pressure on the teams in the top four positions in Ligue 1 this week when they come up against Marseille in France’s top division. The hosts have lost three of their last four matches in the competition.
Ligue 1 Preview
It will be an important final month of the season for Nice, as the French club look to finish in a European position. They come into this midweek round of matches after claiming a victory in their previous outing, but that leaves them just a point above Lens in fifth, and five points adrift of fourth-place Lille.
It was a much needed victory in their previous outing, as Nice went into the weekend after going two matches without a success. The win over the weekend means that the visitors this week have now landed victories in two of their last five matches, but two losses have also been inflicted over that period. Their most recent success was picked up at home against Lorient. It was a comfortable evening for Nice, with Morgan Samson and Evann Guessand among the scorers in the 3-0 win.
Marseille’s hopes of finishing in a European position are effectively over at this stage, as they have dropped to ninth in the standings. The French giants have lost three of their last four matches, which leaves them seven points adrift of their rivals this week.
Marseille at least ended a three-game losing sequence in their previous outing, as they were able to pick up a point against Toulouse. They needed their fair share of luck to pick up that draw, with Faris Moumbagna netting the crucial equalizer in the sixth minute of second half injury time.
Marseille vs Nice Head to Head
Nice have a fine recent record in this fixture after winning each of the last two league meetings between these sides. That includes a 3-1 success in this exact fixture last season. However, Marseille have still won five of their last six home matches against their rivals.
Marseille vs Nice Prediction
Marseille’s attention will firmly be on their upcoming Europa League semi-final in a few weeks, meaning that this could be a good fixture for Nice on Wednesday. For that reason, we will be siding with an away success this week in Ligue 1.
