MARSEILLE V NICE PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS

Marseille (2^nd) is confirming his excellent start of season with the last win against Ajaccio obtained last week-end (0-2). With 1 game less than leader PSG, Marseille won 7 games, drew 1 game and lost twice. At home, they are undefeated, only 1 draw and 3 win. They scored 8 goals and conceded only 3 when they play at home.

Nice (15^th) is still struggling to win games, they won twice, lost 3 games and drew 6 times. Nice is one of the worst team of the league away, out of 5 games, they lost twice and drew 3 times.

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Marseille won last Sunday, which ended the unbeaten of Ajaccio at home (15 matches without defeat in 2012), but also Marseille’s players finnally found the net after 388 minutes of offensive famine. Elie Baup’s team can thank the "Ayew connection" as the 2 brothers are involved in 5 of the last 7 goals of the club. With Gignac still out for couple of weeks, the question is to know if Baup will keep Loic Remy who’s looking unfit in front if the attack or if he will give a chance to Jordan Ayew in the starting 11.

Nice had not won in four matches since last week-end. They finally won last Saturday against Nancy (2-1), three days after beating Lyon in the League Cup.

Coach Claude Puel was quite proud of his players: “We signed two home wins in a week, that's fine. Players feel that there are opportunities. The last two matches, we climbed a notch in the rigor and discipline”.

MARSEILLE V NICE PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

The home team is a strong favorite here, Pinnacle offers the best odd at 1.47, draw is priced at 4.50 with William Hill and Nice to win reaches 9.00 with Ladbrokes. Out of the last 10 games between these 2 teams, Marseille won 8 of them, they drew once and Nice won one game. There is no value for the home team here and I like the odd for draw offered by William Hill so I would put a small stake on this.

MARSEILLE V NICE PREDICTIONS: ASIAN HANDICAP PREVIEW

The Asian market is set at – 1.25 for the home team, best odd is offered by Betvictor at 2.17, same bookmaker offers the best odd for Nice + 1.25 at 1.78.

I believe this game will be tight as Nice recent form has been quite promising even if they are travelling really badly so far this season. Therefore, my choice will go to the visiting team.

MARSEILLE V NICE PREDICTIONS: TOTAL GOALS PREVIEW

The under 2.5 goals is slightly favorite at 1.82 with Pinnacle against the over priced at 2.05 with William Hill.

50% of the games played in Stade Velodrome beat the over 2.5 goals and 40 % of the games played by Nice away went over that cut. Without Gignac being in front of Marseille’s attack to score goals, i dont think there will be many goals in this game so I will pick the under here.
