In the first match in the 22nd round in Ligue 1, Nice host Marseille.
Nice started this year in Ligue 1 with tho wins in a row. First they beat Lorient at home 3-1, while in the previous round they were better side and beat Bordeaux away 1-2.
In the match against Marseille they will be fully motivated to continue with the good performance and make another good result.
Home side is in the solid form, in the last five Ligue 1 matches they have managed to win three times and lost only once (3-1-1).
Bodmer (13/1 m), Palun (12/1 m), Digard (7/0 m) and Traoré (0/0 m) are all out for this match.
Marseille is a typical home side and they are one of the best home teams, but away from home they are not at the high level, especially in the recent period. In the last 8 away matches in all comeptitions they lost 7 times.
Their main strengths is attack – Marseille have the second best attack in Ligue 1, scored 41 goals in 21 matches (average 2 goals per match).
For this match they have some problems with unavailable players, especially in defence.
Three important defenders Mendy (20/0 d), Fanni (13/1 d) and N’Koulou (17/2 d) are all unavailable for this match, so it won’t be an easy for them to secure their net.
Barrada (9/1 m), Alessandrini (14/1 m) and Ayew (15/3 f) are also out.
The visitors have to go for win in this match in order to stay in a race for the title, but I’m not sure that they will be able to take all three points.
Draw could be the real tonight, but I expect that both teams could score.
