Overview
- Kickoff is at 20:45 CET and the match will be broadcast live on Ligue 1+.
- Nice are reported to be without Ndayishimiye, Abdelmonem and Bombito, with Dante and Boudaoui doubtful, and are expected to line up in a 3-5-2 with Diouf in goal and width provided by Clauss on the right and Bard on the left.
- Marseille’s back line is stretched by absences for Medina, Aguerd and Murillo, with Rulli back from international duty and Pavard still likely to start despite recent form concerns.
- De Zerbi may protect a reduced Højbjerg by starting Kondogbia and Vermeeren, with Gomes pushed higher to support Aubameyang and Greenwood and Paixao operating on the flanks.
- Recent meetings tilt toward Nice with three wins in the last five, and visiting fans are barred from traveling as OM begin a demanding run of fixtures.
