Nice will invite Marseille to Allianz Riviera in Ligue 1 on Sunday. The hosts have eight wins in 18 league games and are in fifth place in the standings. Les Phocéens have registered 11 wins and are in second place, though they trail league leaders Paris Saint-Germain by nine points.
Le Gym suffered their first loss of 2025 last week, as they fell to a 2-1 away loss against Lille in Ligue 1. Sofiane Diop gave them the lead in the 29th minute but Lille scored twice in the second half to register a comeback win. Their poor run continued in the UEFA Europa League and they lost 1-0 away at Elfsborg on Thursday.
The visitors are also winless in their last two games. They hosted Lille in the Coupe de France last Wednesday and suffered a loss in penalties after the score ended 1-1 in regulation time. They played Strasbourg in their previous league outing on Sunday and Mason Greenwood's second-half penalty helped them play out a 1-1 draw.

Jeremie Boga, Moise Bombito, Terem Moffi, Victor Orakpo, and Morgan Sanson are sidelined with injuries. Sofiane Diop will serve a suspension due to the accumulation of yellow cards and Pablo Rosario is a doubt.
Les Phocéens are winless in their last two games, scoring one goal apiece in these matches. Interestingly, they have conceded one goal apiece in their last four games. They have won nine of their last 10 Ligue 1 away games and will look to build on that record.
They have a lengthy absentee list for this crucial match as Faris Moumbagna, Valentin Carboni, Geoffrey Kondogbia, Amine Harit, Alexi Koum, and Ismaël Koné are injured. Amir Murillo and Valentin Rongier should start from the bench.
Both teams have some notable absentees for this match, which is likely to impact their performance here. Considering their current form and recent history, a draw will likely ensue.
