The Best Predictions for Nice vs Marseille France Cup Quarterfinals
Contents
The winner in this fixture will progress to the semifinals and play either Versailles or Bergerac. So, it is safe to say, semifinals will be easier for either team. However, this quarterfinal is the toughest duels of all matchups at this stage. Here are our best two picks for this match.
Nice to win @ 29/20 (2.45)
Nice held a difficult opponent in PSG to sail through after winning 5-6 in the knockout stage penalties. They shouldn’t struggle against Marseille in this quarterfinal fixture. The visitors had challenges scoring in the knockout match after managing to convert only one out of seven shots on target. It is will be more difficult facing Nice away from home, so backing the hosts to get a narrow win is a good pick.
Under 2.5 @ 7/10 (1.70)
A barren draw for Nice and a 1-1 draw for Marseille in the knockout stage saw both teams secure quarterfinals places via spot kicks. This will not be an easy game. Our tipsters have settled on fewer than three goals to back it up.

Match Preview: Nice Locks Horns with Marseille in Tough France Cup Quarterfinals Duel
Nice and Marseille will challenge for the semis in this quarterfinals of the France Cup. While Nice edged out PSG in the spot kicks after a barren draw in the knockout stage, Marseille defeated Montpellier. Both sides progressed to this stage with 6-5 scoreline in the knockout matches. However, Marseille bagged a 1-1 draw in full-time after failing to hold onto 74th minute lead six minutes later. The hosts, however, held star-studded PSG to a barren draw in a match that saw Lionel Messi manage only one shot on target in 90 minutes.
And even with a 32% ball possession against the Parisians, Nice was relentless in the knockout match. They had three shots on target will PSG had two. On the flip-side, Marseille had 7 shots on target but only converted one with a 68% ball possession.
Based on these stats, Nice is a better opponent in this game and should be hard to defeat, especially defensively. Marseille failed to take their chances in the knockout game and making this trip to Nice should even be more challenging for the visitors. The visitors will face a stronger opponent than they did in the quarterfinals, which could make victory hard to come by in this match.
We don’t expect Nice to make significant changes to the lineup that held PSG to a barren draw. The visitors should equally make slight change for this fixture, if any.
Nice predicted lineup: Bulka, Lotomba, Dante, Todibo, Amavi, Kluivert, Thuram, Schneiderlin, Boudauoi, Dolberg and Gouri.
Marseille predicted lineup: Lopez, Liroal, Saliba, Peres, Caleta-Car, Kamara, Guendouzi, Rongier, Under, Henrique and Payet.
