Nice are 15th and have just a 20% win rate away, scoring 1.07 and conceding 2.0 per away match. In the last 5 games the hosts have scored 6 and conceded 7, averaging 1.2 points per game, whereas Nice have scored 4 and conceded 8, averaging 1.0 points per game, indicating the visitors’ inferior form. Chance quality favors Marseille: home average xG is 1.73 versus 1.15 for Nice on the road, with average shots 14.53 vs 9.73 and shots on target 6 vs 3.47, and efficiency 17% vs 11%. Additionally, the hosts are less likely to finish scoreless (7% vs 33%), have more clean sheets at home (33% vs 13%) and a superior home goal difference (+19 vs Nice’s -14 on the road), therefore I back the home win.
