Nice - Olympique Marseille predictions

Kickoff starts at 20:45 on 26/01/2025 played @ Allianz Riviera refereed by Eric Wattellier

The visitors understand the difficulty of the task at hand. To beat Nice on their own turf would be a major feat, and it is always a tough challenge.

Despite playing away, Olympique Marseille are more likely to win this showdown than the hosts. It’s not a done deal, of course. Considering the betting odds for an away win are set at 2.50, we’re in for a close game.

No one expected Nice to win the previous round at Lille – they were the visiting team in a highly disfavourable matchup. Even though they somehow managed to end the first half with a lead, their opponents went home with 3 points after a narrow 2:1 win.

Olympique Marseille are here on the back of a sub-par display in their previous Ligue 1 bout, which ended in a 1:1 draw against Strasbourg. They went into the match with both a home advantage and tagged as favourites, so Strasbourg is probably much happier with the result.

Nice’s recent performances have raised some questions about their defence. They conceded 6 goals throughout their latest three Ligue 1 matches and betting on Over 4.5 seems like a reasonable option.

We’ve seen some impressive offensive performances from Olympique Marseille in the past few weeks. Their latest 3 league outings were marked by more than 5 goals scored, which means this match is likely to confirm markets like BTTS and Over 5 Goals.

Nice are unlikely to be happy with their 5th in the standings. Europa League football would be decent in their own right – but it’s also quite possible for them to work towards a Champions League qualification or even the title. Getting through Olympique Marseille would be the first step towards such goals, however, and it’s not going o be an easy one.

Olympique Marseille are near the top of the season’s rankings with a 2nd spot on the table. That marks a satisfying start, but they’ll need to put out a lot more successes before they can call the season a triumph.

Olympique Marseille are expected to win this bout despite playing on Nice ’s home turf. This prediction makes a lot of sense when you consider their first bout this season. Playing as the hosts, Olympique Marseille took a decisive lead and ended the match with a noteworthy goal difference.

Both teams will have to play with an above-average number of injures. Pablo Rosario, Morgan Sanson, Moise Bombito, Victor Orakpo are unavailable for the hosts. Conversely, Valentin Rongier, Amine Harit, Geoffrey Kondogbia, Valentin Carboni, Sepe Wahi, Emmanuel Alexi Koum Mbondo will not be able to play on the visiting side. The odds still favour Olympique Marseille, though.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 1.75, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
