Today's Predictions for Marseille vs Nice

Rival Marseille and Nice are both in good form ahead of their Derby de la Mediterranée clash in Ligue 1 on Sunday. Who will emerge unscathed from this volatile contest? Read our top predictions for this weekend’s fixture below.

Both Teams to Score

Marseille are odds-on favourites to get the better of rivals Nice in the Derby de la Mediterranée on Sunday, however, the visitors’ tails will be up following excellent back-to-back wins over high-flying pair Lille and Lens, and a competitive clash could be in store at the Stade Orange Vélodrome. Both teams have managed to get in on the act in three of the last four encounters between OM and Nice and a similar outcome could be in the works when the antagonists face off again this weekend.

Over 4.5 Cards

There is little love lost between the supporters of Marseille and Nice, and their animosity has spilled onto the pitch in recent encounters between the Mediterranean rivals. Four players were carded when the teams last met at the Stade Orange Vélodrome, though with time to stew over old scores, we expect the bookings count to be even higher at that venue on Sunday. With a heated atmosphere likely, the tackles should fly in this one, so expect frayed tempers and venomous challenges on the south coast.

Marseille vs Nice Team News & Injuries

Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for Sunday’s Ligue 1 showdown between Marseille and Nice below.

Marseille

Ivorian defender Eric Bailly is still suspended for Marseille, though OM have few injuries to report ahead of Sunday's clash. Marseille won 2-0 at Nantes in midweek and they are now seated in second place in the Ligue 1 table, just five points behind leaders and bitter rivals, PSG.

Predicted Lineup for Marseille: Lopez – Mbemba, Gigot, Balerdi – Tavares, Rongeri, Veretout, Kolasinac – Under, Malinovskyi – Sanchez

Nice

Nicolas Pepe has a knee injury and will be out until later this month, while defender Youcef Atal faces another spell on the sidelines with a hamstring injury. Keeper Marcin Bulka is still working his way back from a shoulder complaint. Nice upset the odds to beat Lens 1-0 on Wednesday evening.

Predicted Lineup for Nice: Schmeichel – Mendy, Ndayishimiye, Todibo, Dante – Ramsey, Boudaoui, Diop, Thuram – Labourde

Player to Watch – Youssouf Ndayishimiye

Youssouf Ndayishimiye was one of Nice’s star performers in their 1-0 win at Nice in midweek and the centre-half completed four clearances to repel several attacks on Wednesday. The Burundi international is a new arrival at Nice having just joined from İstanbul Başakşehir in Turkey, and the early evidence suggests his signing could be a real coup.
