Olympique Marseille Nice betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Olympique de Marseille is the favorite for this match, as it has a considerably superior squad and a better performance both offensively and defensively. In addition, Nice no longer fights for anything else in Ligue 1, playing just to fulfill schedule, while the home team needs the 3 points in the fight for a place in the next Champions League. Given these factors and the great strength of Olympique in its stadium, we believe that the team will conquer the 3 points.

In the last match, they tied in an away match against Angers, by (1‑1). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 8 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 29 goals scored and 18 conceded; against 10 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss at their stadium, with 38 goals scored and 14 conceded.

In their home league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 1‑0 (6 out of 17 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 35 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 11 times and have only turned the score around in 3.

Olympique de Marseille is going through a great phase in the French Championship where it comes from 5 games without losing and is looking for another 3 points in the fight for a place in the Champions League next season. The team has a quality attack that has scored 73 goals and is the fourth best in the competition, while the defense leaves a little to be desired, it is only the sixth less leaked and needs adjustments, having conceded goals in 8 of its last 9 games for Ligue 1. Playing at home, as the match of this Sunday, Olympique comes from great victory over Lille where it scored no less than 5 goals, has the third best home campaign and it is worth mentioning that it is the third team that scored the most and the fourth that conceded the least goals in this type of situation, evidencing the good strength that has in its stadium. For the clash against Nice, coach Rudi Garcia should repeat the lineup of the last rounds.

Confirmed Lineup: Steve Mandanda, Jordan Amavi, Boubacar Kamara, Rolando, Bouna Sarr, Luiz Gustavo, André Zambo Anguissa, Dimitri Payet, Lucas Ocampos, Florian Thauvin, Valère Germain.
Coach: J. Sampaoli Moya.

Analysis Nice

The away team is currently in the 7th position of the league, with 51 points won, after 14 wins, 9 draws and 12 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Montpellier, by (1‑0). In the last match, they tied in an away match against Strasbourg, by (1‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 20 goals scored and 18 conceded; against 8 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 19 goals scored and 18 conceded. In the last 10 away league matches Nice has a record of 3 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses, so they have won 14 points out of 30 possible. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (6 out of 17 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 35 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 16 times and have only turned the score around in 3.

Nice comes to the final stretch of the French Championship without any great ambitions, as it has no chance of qualifying for European competition, so it only has to finish the national competition in a dignified way. The team has a reasonable attack that has scored 46 goals and is the sixth best of Ligue 1, while the defense, in turn, is fragile, having suffered 46 goals and is the eighth most leaked, although it has shown evolution with only 3 goals conceded in the last 5 rounds. Playing away from home, such as this Sunday's match, Nice comes from 5 games without losing, however all these matches were against teams from the bottom half of the standings with a level well below its next opponent. For the clash with Olympique de Marseille, coach Lucien Favre will not be able to count on defender Marlon and midfielder Seri, both for the accumulation of yellow cards.

Confirmed Lineup: Walter Benítez, Arnaud Souquet, Maxime Le Marchand, Marlon, Dante, Wylan Cyprien, Pierre Lees Melou, Jean-Michaël Seri, Allan Saint-Maximin, Mario Balotelli, Alassane Pléa.
Coach: D. Digard.
