Ligue 1 – Nice face Olympique de Marseille

Sunday at Allianz Rivera, as Nice host Marseille in the Ligue 1.

Nice, currently sitting fifteenth, host third placed Marseille on Sunday.

This season’s Ligue 1 campaign, has so far seen Nice achieve two points

Nice will be keen to retain their winning form, having beaten Clermont Foot 1-0 in their last fixture.

Also, with two draws in three matches, Nice need to develop a strategy for getting over the line in games. Their position is fifteenth in the League and they have two points, that is, 0W, 1L and 2D having drawn two games and lost one game.

Playing at home, Nice have drawn one game.

Nice will have secured 5 points so far this season, should they secure a win.

It is likely that two key players will miss Sunday’s fixture, which is something of a concern for Lucien Favre and his Nice team.

Olympique de Marseille’s campaign so far has seen them accrue seven points this season

Marseille will hope to increase their wins in a row, having secured a 2-1 victory over Nantes in their last match.

Also, Marseille keep finding ways to win, having secured two victories in their last three matches is astonishing this season. With seven points (2W, 0L and 1D), they are established in third position in the League having won two fixtures and drawn one game.

Marseille will travel to Nice with a win record on the road that is quite unremarkable, with one dart.

A win in this fixture would take Olympique de Marseille’s points to 10 in the League.

Good Attacking Performance

Marseille have a good scoring record this season, with seven netted so far. Their stand out attacking players have been Luis Suarez (2), Nuno Tavares (2), and Chancel Mbemba (1). Marseille have conceded three goals.
