📋 Team News: Nice
It looks as if Les Aiglons should employ a 4-4-2 formation, beginning the first half with Yehvann Diouf, Antoine Mendy, Juma Bah, Kojo Peprah Oppong, Jonathan Clauss, Morgan Sanson, Charles Vanhoutte, Melvin Bard, Sofiane Diop, Kevin Carlos and Jeremie Boga.
🗞️ Team News: Marseille
We’re of the thinking that Les Olympiens appear most likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 formation using Geronimo Rulli, Timothy Weah, Benjamin Pavard, CJ Egan-Riley, Emerson, P. Hoejbjerg, Arthur Vermeeren, Mason Greenwood, Angel Gomes, Igor Paixao and P. Aubameyang.
🧠 Prediction
Looking at these two teams, we feel that Nice could well find it tough to get anything against this Marseille outfit who we reckon should gain the upper hand.
We’re therefore tipping a very even contest with a 0-1 winning margin for Marseille when the referee blows for full-time.
Let’s see what happens.
