On Sunday at 9pm, Les Aiglons make the short trip to their neighbours in Marseille. Find out the pre-match stats ahead of this Week 28 match.

Marseille, on a positive recent run

Marseille has won its last four games against Nice in Ligue 1, after winning just one of the previous seven (1 draw, 5 defeats). At home, the Olympiens have only won three of their last six against Le Gym in the league (1 draw, 2 defeats).

An in-form opponent

Rudi Garcia’s side are on a five match unbeaten run (4 wins, 1 draw). This run is Marseille’s best this season. They have  won their last three home games in Ligue 1 without conceding a goal, a first for them since November-December 2017.

Le Gym travel less well

Up against them, Les Aiglons will try to use their good home form (unbeaten in eight matches at the Allianz Riviera) to kick-off some form away from home (seven matches without a win away from home).

The unexpected stat

Marseille is the side in Ligue 1 who has scored the most headed goals this season (11, on a par with St Etienne), Nice is the team with the least (1, on a par with Dijon).

The men to follow 

For the Red and Blacks, Allan Saint-Maximin has been involved in two of his side’s last three goals in Ligue 1 (1 goal, 1 assist). Dimitri Payet has been involved in two of Marseille’s last three goals against Nice in Ligue 1 (1 goal, 1 assist). He has scored 5 goals against Le Gym in his career in Ligue 1, his best return against a side in the top flight (equal with his record against Toulouse).
