Nice vs Marseille prediction: FRANCE: Ligue 1 betting tips on match 2025-11-20 19:45.
[p]Marseille are looking to keep the pressure on Ligue 1 leaders PSG when they travel to face a Nice side they’ve beaten more than any other in competition history (64).[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]The international break came at the perfect time for Nice, who lost three successive games across all competitions, most recently giving up the lead to lose 2-1 at newly-promoted strugglers Metz. The Eagles have dropped off the pace of the European places as a result, but they look to have every chance of closing that gap here given that they’ve earned 13 of their 17 points this season on home turf, avoiding defeat in their last five Ligue 1 games at the Allianz Riviera (W4, D1). [/p]
[p]Marseille have made their best start to a season at this stage since 2020/21, and could leapfrog PSG at the Ligue 1 summit, if only temporarily, with victory here. Roberto De Zerbi’s side have been beaten in just one of their last nine league outings (W7, D1), with five of those victories accompanied by a clean sheet. The Olympians will be confident of adding to that tally thanks to their continuing improvement on the road, as after losing their first two Ligue 1 trips of the season, Marseille have since won three of their last four (L1).[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]While they may have had the better of this fixture historically, Marseille have won just one of the last five H2Hs (D1, L3), and only one of their last six trips to Nice in all competitions (D1, L4). Both meetings last term were won 2-0 by the home side on the day.[/p]
