Prediction: 1-1
Marseille
Sunday’s football game between Nice and Olympique Marseille will bring down the curtain on day 19 of the current Ligue 1 campaign. Les Aiglons aim to make amends for a 2-1 loss to Lille and a win over OM could see them climb to the Champions League berth. Former Lyon midfielder Tanguy Ndombele is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while forward Sofiane Diop serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards.
Roberto De Zerbi’s troops, on the other hand, came from behind to share the spoils with Strasbourg at the weekend. Marseille aim to retain second place in the standings, but with Nice being tough to beat at home, there is a big value in betting on draw. Defender Eduard Sobol is banned for the visiting team, while both Dion Dahi and Thomas Delaine continue to miss out with injuries.

Born in Copenhagen, on the 5th of August, 1995, Hojbjerg has been playing football since the age of five. The Danish International spent his youth career playing for clubs BK Skjold, F.C.

The same year, he scored his first-ever professional goal that came in a 2-1 away loss to Paderborn 07 on the 11th of April. The following season, he was loaned out again, this time to Schalke 04 for a whole season.
In a move that would mark the end of his stint in German Football, Hojbjerg joined Premier league club Southampton in 2016 on a transfer worth 13 million euros. He's currently on a five-year contract with the Saints. At the International level, the 24-year-old represented Denmark at every iteration of the youth level before making his senior debut on the 28th of May, 2014, in a friendly against Sweden.
