Marseille-Nice is a match on the fourth day of Ligue 1 and is played Saturday at 5pm: stats, live TV, likely lineups, prediction.
Two wins, one draw, no losses and the second best attack in the tournament – 10 goals scored – after that of the leading PSG. It can be said without any fear of being proven wrong that Roberto De Zerbi’s adventure in Marseille has started on the right foot.
The former Brighton coach, who landed in Ligue 1 after an excellent two-year stint in the Premier League, has already stamped his mark on a team that is so eager to get back to winning ways to put disappointing years behind it, in which despite major investment by the club it failed to lift any trophies and had to deal with fan protests. So far Marseille has mostly shined on the road, where two bombastic victories have come (5-1 at Brest and 3-1 at Toulouse), while at the Velodrome I Phocéens did not go beyond a draw against Reims (2-2). De Zerbi’s men, while never keeping their goal inviolate, never scored less than 2 goals, dragged by former Manchester United Greenwood – strongly desired by the Brescia coach – absolute protagonist with 5 goals in 3 games.
Marseille that now goes in search of confirmations in the heartfelt Côte d’Azur derby with Nice: after a non-exhausting start, the Rossoneri before the break won the first three points by overwhelming the newly promoted Angers 4-1. We are talking, after all, about a team that has changed a lot compared to last year: on the bench sits former Lens coach Franck Haise, called to open a new cycle after the departures of the various Todibo, Thuram, Rosier and Perraud.

The Prediction
Marseille hasn’t beaten Nice in two years and in the last three previous fixtures has cashed in two defeats with the Rossoneri. De Zerbi could break this taboo and, on the heels of the positive start, the first three home points should come in a match of at least three goals total.
