Marseille followed three consecutive victories by 0:1 loss to Salzburg on the road within the UEFA Europa League. In general, "Les Phoceens" show unsustainable football in this season. Rudi Garcia's side had entered the season successfully and then all of a sudden it lost to Monaco 1:6 and 1:3 to Rennes at the home field. Afterwards Marseille recorded a winning series which was broken in Austria. Currently the club occupies the fifth place in the standings with 13 points earned and 11-10 goal difference. In the side's game a lot depends on the attacking triangle: Dimitri Payet, Lucas Ocampos, Florian Thauvin providing the Cameroonian forward Clinton N'Jie with the passes which allowed the striker to score five goals. Aymen Abdennour will not appear in the club's line-up against Nice with the rest of performers to be on-stream.
In four previous head-to-heads against Marseille at the home turf Nice earned three wins and a draw. At the moment Lucien Favre's side is not weaker than Marseille. It is obvious that it is going to be a spectacular fight in which the hosts have advantage as they show solid play in front of their fans. In their turn, Marseille are quite inconsistent on the road, having won at away fields not such often as it was desired by their fans.
Prediction for the match: Nice to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
