In recent encounters between the two sides, a high number of goals have been scored, suggesting that this match could be an entertaining affair for the fans. Olympique Marseille has been in good form in their last five matches, consistently getting positive results. On the other hand, Nice has struggled defensively in recent games, even at home.
Historically, Nice has shown an ability to score an average of 2 goals per game in previous league matches. Meanwhile, Olympique Marseille has also demonstrated a similar scoring record, indicating that both teams possess firepower in their attacking departments.
However, Olympique Marseille will have to overcome their defensive struggles away from home if they are to secure a victory in this match. Despite this, Roberto De Zerbi's team usually plays attractive football, even on the road, which could give them the edge in this contest.
Looking at the head-to-head record, the past meetings between the two teams have resulted in 2 wins for Nice, 1 draw, and 2 wins for Olympique Marseille. This suggests that the upcoming match could go either way, with both teams capable of clinching the win.
In terms of scoring prowess, Olympique Marseille has a slightly higher goal-scoring average of 2.2 goals per game this season, compared to Nice's 2 goals per game. This indicates that Olympique Marseille might have a slight advantage in terms of attacking efficiency.
Overall, Olympique Marseille are considered as slight favorites for this match, especially given their recent form and slightly superior goal-scoring record. However, Nice cannot be underestimated, and their home advantage could make this match a closely fought contest with plenty of goals expected.
