Ligue 1
Recent H2H between the clubs has been competitive - meetings in the last 12 months produced mixed results rather than one-sided domination. While Marseille have more consistency over the season, recent one-off fixtures can swing either way, and Nice will be encouraged by a couple of impressive home displays this term - back-to-back wins in the last two Ligue 1 home fixtures vs Marseille.
Nice team overview
In contrast to Marseille, Nice have struggled in recent weeks. They have been beaten twice across the last couple of Ligue 1 matchdays - a 1-0 loss to PSG followed by a 2-1 defeat to Metz - results that have seen them slip down the table, where they now sit in 9th place. Prior to these back-to-back league defeats, Nice had been one of the form teams in the division, going five matches unbeaten in Ligue 1 from late September to late October.
Despite this dip in form, their home record remains among the strongest in the league: they have lost only once in six home matches and are currently undefeated in five successive home fixtures.

Marseille team overview
Marseille arrive as one of the most dangerous attacking sides in the division and currently sit 2nd in the table. However, their away form has prevented them from overtaking arch-rivals PSG at the top - they have suffered three defeats in their last six away league matches - and the squad continues to manage several fitness concerns.
Even with their inconsistent away performances during the opening four months of the 2025/26 season, Marseille remain one of PSG’s main challengers for the title, helped by back-to-back Ligue 1 wins over Brest and Auxerre. Overall, they are unbeaten in three consecutive league matches (W2, D1) and boast the best attacking record in the division, with 28 goals scored - an impressive average of 2.8 goals per game.

Prediction
Tactically this shapes up as a low-variance contest: Nice are compact, defensively organised and good at forcing opponents into the lower end of shot and chance creation, while Marseille create more high-value chances but have shown vulnerability on the road. Given Nice’s recent unbeaten home record of five matches and their ability to keep clean sheets at home (1 in 3), a cautious draw feels the likeliest outcome. We predict Nice to avoid defeat on Friday.
Prediction: Nice not to lose (double chance x1).
Three reasons we expect Double chance x1
- Nice have only lost once in their last six head-to-head home meetings vs Marseille (W4 D1 L1).
- Nice are unbeaten in five consecutive home matches in Ligue 1 (W4 D1).
- Marseille are not as formidable when playing away from home as they are on home soil - all three of their Ligue 1 defeats this season have come on the road.
