Marseille are fourth in Ligue 1 and five points behind the third place (currently occupied by Lyon) that would get them into next season's Champions League. They are in good form at present with four wins and a draw from their last five league games. Marseille have kept three clean sheets in those five games and their last three home league games have also seen them keep three clean sheets. They have only conceded nine home league goals this season, the joint lowest in Ligue 1. 

Nice are eighth in the table and only four points behind their opponents, so a win here will really put them in with a chance of Europa League football next season. Current form isn't going to get them there though as they have lost three of their last five league games. The other two home league games were both won including a victory over third-placed Lyon but they were both at home. Away form is a big worry with no wins in their last seven league games and only two goals scored. Their last three have all been lost with no goals scored and eight conceded. Go for a home win in this game.
