"Nice are a big and established club in Ligue 1. Les Aiglons finished as high as fourth in the league table last season and will be determined to do just as well, if not better, in the 2025-26 campaign. Franck Haise's side, though, are not having the best of times at the moment. Nice are as low as 12th in the Ligue 1 table with 17 points from 12 matches, eight points behind third-placed Lens."
"Marseille are one of the biggest clubs in France and did extremely well last season. Under manager Roberto De Zerbi, Les Phoceens finished as high as second in the Ligue 1 table in the 2024-25 campaign and will be determined to become the champions of France this time around. Les Olympiens are doing well in the league at the moment. Marseille are second in the Ligue 1 table right with 25 points from 12 matches, two points behind leaders Paris Saint-Germain."
Nice and Marseille will meet at the Allianz Riviera with kickoff at 7:45pm UK time on Friday. Nice sit 12th in Ligue 1 with 17 points from 12 matches after defeats to Metz, SC Freiburg and Paris Saint-Germain. Nice are likely to line up 3-4-1-2 with Yehvann Diouf in goal, Antoine Mendy, Juma Bah and Kojo Peprah Oppong in defence, Jonathan Clauss, Hicham Boudaoui, Charles Vanhoutte and Ali Abdi in midfield, Sofiane Diop as playmaker and Mohamed-Ali Cho with Kevin Carlos up front. Marseille are second with 25 points from 12 matches and beat Brest 3-0 before losing 1-0 to Atalanta. Marseille are predicted to win 2-0.
