Nice vs Marseille prediction, H2H and probable lineups - November 21, 2025
One of the headline clashes of Ligue 1's 13th round kicks off on Friday at the Allianz Riviera in Nice, where the local side Nice will host Marseille. Here’s a bet on the outcome of this showdown with strong chances for success.
Match preview
Nice return home after two tough away losses, having been narrowly defeated by PSG and Metz. Despite those setbacks, Les Aiglons put up a fight on the road, confirming their solid form as they had previously strung together three straight league victories. Their home record remains a major asset — Nice are unbeaten in their last five matches at their own ground.
Defensively, the team has been rock-solid in the first half, conceding just twice in their last nine matches before the break. The stats further favor the hosts — both teams have scored in the majority of Nice’s recent home games, and the hosts consistently pick up points in front of their fans.
Marseille are in excellent form, sitting among the league leaders and chasing PSG with confidence. The Provençal side have kept clean sheets in their last two outings, thrashing Brest and grinding out a tough win at Auxerre. This speaks to the balance they’ve struck between attack and defense.
However, Marseille have struggled for consistency away from home — conceding in ten of their last twelve Ligue 1 road trips. That said, their attacking threat ensures they remain dangerous in any contest, regularly finding the back of the net regardless of venue.
Probable lineups
- Nice: Diouf, Oppong, Mendy, Ba, Clauss, Abdi, Vanhautte, Diop, Boudaoui, Omoruyi, Cho
- Marseille: Rulli, Aguerd, Palmeri, Murillo, Pavard, Gomez, Vermeeren, Højbjerg, Paixão, Greenwood, Aubameyang
Match facts and head-to-head
- Nice are unbeaten in five straight home matches in Ligue 1.
- Marseille have lost seven of their last twelve away games in the league.
- The last two meetings between these sides at the Allianz Riviera ended in clean-sheet wins for Nice.
Prediction
Nice’s home streak is impressive, especially given Marseille’s inconsistent away form. The visitors continue to drop points on the road and rarely look convincing away from the Velodrome. Given the hosts’ strong head-to-head record at home, it’s logical to back Nice to avoid defeat. Our pick for this match: Nice double chance at odds of 1.91.
