Marseille vs Nice prediction 26.04.2026 | Ligue 1

Marseille have been really inconsistent this season. However, it seems they played their best football under de Zerbi, despite failing to reach the Champions League knockout phase. After he left, and Habib Beye joined, it seems they took a step backward. After losing three of the past four games, Marseille dropped to 6th place and has 52 points in 30 rounds. Yes, the desired 3rd spot is only two points away, but their recent form is definitely worrisome. Still, their remaining schedule is pretty weak, and they definitely have a good chance to climb to 3rd spot.

Central defender Facundo Medina served his one-game suspension against Lorient and will be ready. Meanwhile, Nayef Aguerd, CJ Egan-Riley, and Geoffrey Kondogbia should remain sidelined with their injuries. On the other hand, Quinten Timber is questionable with his muscle injury.

If Marseille had an underwhelming season, what can one say for Nice? The popular Eaglets finished 4th last season, and most people expected them to continue with good performances. However, that couldn't be further from the truth. They finished 33rd in the Europa League while losing seven of eight games. In Ligue 1, they were atrocious as well, sitting in 15th place with 29 points from 30 rounds. At the moment, they are just four points away from the relegation playout. 

The Eaglets' only bright spot of the season is in the Cup, where they just secured the Finals after beating Strasbourg 2:0. So, pretty much their goal is to survive in the Ligue 1 and win the Cup, and secure Europe that way.

When it comes to injuries, they should have no new ones, but the players who missed the previous matches should remain sidelined - Mohamed Abdelmonem, Moise Bombito, Dante, Youssouf Ndayishimiye, and Everton Pereira.
