Team News

Nice
Marseille
  • OGC Nice are gearing up for their next Ligue 1 clash with a relatively fresh squad. Thanks to their early exit from European competition, Nice utilised squad rotation during their midweek fixture.
  • Despite ongoing injury concerns, the team is improving, with key players nearing full-match fitness.
  • This combination of rested legs and returning players will provide a much-needed boost as Nice looks to maintain momentum despite a 2-1 loss to Lille last week.
  • The team has been active in the transfer market, with reports linking them to Bayern Munich's Mathys Tel and Chelsea’s Renato Veiga, although no official signings have been confirmed.
  • Marseille has been dealing with injuries, but key midfielder Pierre Emile Højbjerg continues to play a pivotal role in the team’s midfield.
  • Additionally, forward Mason Greenwood has made headlines with reports suggesting he has switched his international allegiance from England to Jamaica, which could affect his availability for upcoming matches.
  • Marseille has shown resilience, maintaining a strong position in Ligue 1 and a five-game away winning streak.

Prediction

  • Although OGC Nice have shown glimpses of form in 2025, they are still far from being at full strength due to the significant number of injuries that have plagued the squad. The squad lacks the necessary depth to compete with the top teams. Their defence has been significantly affected, and this could be exploited.
  • Marseille, by contrast, have displayed impressive resilience, particularly in their away performances. Under the guidance of coach Roberto De Zerbi, they have managed to secure crucial wins away from home, and its attacking capabilities remain a major strength.
  • Despite their improvement in 2025, Nice will struggle to cope with the intensity and quality that Marseille can bring, especially given their defensive issues. Marseille’s midfield is strong and dynamic, with Adrien Rabiot and Pierre Emile Højbjerg dictating play. In contrast, Nice’s midfield lacks the same balance, especially with some of their creative players still sidelined.
