Marseille vs Nice Prediction & Betting Tips (26 April)

Beaten three times in 4 matches, Marseille 6th suffered a very bad operation in the race for the podium, especially since the Marseille club suffered the law of two direct competitors, namely Lille 1-2 last month and Monaco 2-1 after returning from the March break. If they revived against the red lantern Metz 3-1, Habib Beye's players did not confirm last weekend in Lorient. Worse, they left Moustoir empty-handed 2-0 and were 2 points behind the top three before the matches of the 31st day. At the gates of the relegation zone, Nice 15th is ahead of the barrage by 4 points after being scuttled against Le Havre 1-1 and having limited the damage to Lille 0-0.

The penultimate defense in Ligue 1 fell to PSG 0-4 and Strasbourg 3-1 in previous meetings and slipped down the rankings over the months, forcing its leaders to replace Franck Haise with Claude Puel as coach. The Aiglons remain stuck with 2 victories gleaned in the Championship at the start of the year, out of 14 matches played. 

Not spared by injuries, OM deplores the new withdrawal of Kondogbia (midfielder) and central defenders Aguerd (starter) and Egan-Riley (substitute). In addition, midfielder Nnadi with little playing time and offensive executives Paixão (6 goals, 5 assists in L1) and Gouiri (7 goals, 3 assists in L1) remain in doubt. Usually the holder in midfield, Quinten Timber is expected for this part. Greenwood (15 goals, 6 assists in L1) and Aubameyang (9 goals, 5 assists in L1) are among the players capable of relaunching OM in the final sprint. However, the former has remained silent in the last 4 matches and Aubameyang has scored one goal in 6 matches.

 If Nice finds its midfielders Sanson and Boudaoui compared to the last day, there are still several to give up this Sunday. The long-term absence Bombito and the probable new withdrawals of Ndayishimiye and the veteran Dante decimate the team in central defense. A notch higher, the young Everton in replacement status will not play again this season when Vanhoutte (holder) is not guaranteed to be back on his feet. While the defensive sector will have to sublimate itself against the strike force of the Marseille attackers, the former Marseillais Wahi (4 goals in L1) will want to close a drought of 4 games without scoring.
