Command Analysis

Nice

Current form
Nice have let their Europa League play slide, and the narrow 0:1 defeat to Elfsborg a few days ago is a perfect example of this. Now Frank Es men will be fully concentrating on participating in the national championship matches, where they have not yet managed to stay in the Champions League top four, lagging behind them by one point. At the moment, the team is in fifth place.
In the last round there was an away game with Lille. The match was equal, but still the opponent was luckier in converting the moments, as they won with a score of 2:1. It will not be easy to rehabilitate for the fiasco in the last round, because the match is with the second team of the league.
Disqualifications and injuries
Moffie and Boga are injured and Diop is disqualified.
Interesting trends for betting
- Nice have won their last two matches at home
- In 18 games with local fans, the hosts scored
Estimated line-up: Bulka - Kloss, Dante, Ndayshimie, Bard - Boudaoui, Rosario - Shaw, Ndombele, Gessand - Laborde.

Marseille

Current form
Marseille, frankly speaking, messed up in the last round, because they couldn't beat Strasbourg on their home field, and they were losing to them until the 68th minute, and they managed to equalize the score only thanks to a penalty. But the Provençals clearly played to win. 69% ball possession, 18 shots on goal, and exactly half of them were on target, while the opponent shot only seven times, four of them wide.
Marseille plays better away than at home. The team celebrated victories in the last six matches, and scored 18 goals in these matches, while conceding six times less.
Disqualifications and injuries
Mumbanja, Carboni and Blanco will not take to the field due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- Marseille have won their last six away matches
- The visitors have scored in 11 games in a row
Tentative lineup: Rulli - Cornelius, Balerdi, Murillo - Luis Enrique, Nadir, Hojbjerg, Merlin - Greenwood, Rabiot - Maupay.

1.74Tip and bets
This match is the last and central one in the 19th round of Ligue 1. The teams from the top of the standings, which have no problems with converting their chances, will play each other. Nice scored in 13 of the last 15 matches, and Marseille have not left the field after the final whistle without scoring a goal in 11 games in a row. In addition, in seven of the last 11 head-to-head meetings there were no zeros on the scoreboard. It is unlikely that they will be this time either.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 1.60
Bet on the outcome
When choosing another bet, let look at the statistics of head-to-head meetings in the last ten matches. Both teams managed to win four times, and there was a draw twice. During these matches, Nice scored 17 goals, and Marseille - 16. The Eaglets will play on their home field, and the Provencals demonstrate a better game away from home. It all comes down to the fact that there will be no winner.
Our prediction is a draw with odds of 3.50
Bet on corners
The teams pay special attention to defensive actions in face-to-face games. In the three previous face-to-face meetings, there were never more than six corners. We believe that this time it will not be possible to achieve a large number either.
Our prediction is total under 9.5 corners for 1.70
