Nice host Marseille at the Stade de l'Aube in Ligue 1 on Wednesday, with both sides having similar seasons so far.
Nice are currently third in the league, one point above their opponents. Christophe Galtier's side will be going into the game off the back of a 3-2 win against Lyon. They will hope to take that momentum into the clash against Marseille.
Marseille have faltered of late, having won only one of their last five games across all competitions. Jorge Sampaoli's side picked up an impressive 0-0 draw against PSG last time out.
They will hope to build upon that result with a win against Nice on Wednesday.
