Marseille is coming into this match with a trend to the over in their recent matches. They have gone over 2.5 goals in all 3 of their matches this season and they have also gone over 2.5 goals in their last 7 straight matches going back before the season started. Their attack has been on fire as they have scored at least 2 goals in each of their last 7 matches, scoring at least 3 goals in 3 of their last 4 as well as 5 of their last 7, and they have also scored 10 goals in their 3 matches this season. Their defense has not been good though, allowing at least 1 goal in each of their last 5 matches, allowing 4 goals in their 3 matches this season. Their only home match this season was a 2-2 draw with Reims and now they are coming out of the break with no other competitions to worry about so they will be fully focused on the league. They are going up against a Nice side that has also been trending to the over in their recent matches. They have gone over 2.5 goals in 2 of their 3 matches this season and have gone over 2.5 goals in 8 of their last 10 matches going back before the season started. Their defense has not been great as they have allowed at least 1 goal in each of their last 10 matches, allowing 4 goals in their 3 matches this season, but their attack has also scored a goal in every match this season, scoring 5 goals in their last 2 matches alone. They will have some confidence here as they got their 1st win of the season just before the break, beating Angers 4-1 away from home, and this is a Marseille team that they are going to get up for. Nice usually gets up for Marseille as they have won the last 2 meetings, and these two have seen 4 of their last 5 meetings go over 2.5 goals as well, including their last 3 meetings in Marseille. Marseille has a very potent attack this season and they are going to find the net at home against this Nice defense, but Marseille has not been able to keep opponents out and will struggle to keep this consistent Nice attack out of their net here. Between these two sides, there will be enough goals in this match to push it over 2.5 goals.
