Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Buoyed by a 3-1 win over Toulouse, Olympique Marseille will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Nice on Matchday 4. OM have been scoring goals for fun in the new Ligue 1 campaign and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach against les Aiglons. A man to watch in the home team will be Mason Greenwood, who has been producing excellent displays ever since he joined the Stade Velodrome outfit.
The likes of Leonardo Balerdi, Faris Moumbagna, Ismael Kone, and Ruben Blanco are out of contention with injuries. Nice, meanwhile, did well to crush Angers 4-1 before the international break and given their attacking potential, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. Moise Bombito is banned for the visiting side, while the likes of Diop, Moffi, Louchet, Sanson, Laborde, and Boudaoui miss out with injuries.
