Mason Greenwood’s injury has led to his exclusion from the Marseille lineup against Nice. This absence raises questions about how it will affect Marseille’s performance in the upcoming Ligue 1 match.
Marseille currently sits in sixth place in Ligue 1. They recently suffered a setback, losing their last league game 2-0 to Lorient. In contrast, Nice is positioned fourth-from-bottom and played to a scoreless draw against LOSC Lille in their last outing.
Marseille won the last head-to-head match against Nice decisively, finishing with a score of 5-1. However, recent form suggests a struggle for both teams. Marseille has recorded four wins, five losses, and one draw in their last ten league games, while Nice has only managed one win amidst five losses and four draws.
Coach Habib Beye commented on Greenwood’s condition: “Mason we have looked at since the start of the week; he is very limited by the injury from Lille.” He added, “It’s been two games that he’s played with a lot of pain; we can’t put him in danger.” This situation leaves fans wondering how Marseille will adapt without their key player.
Statistically, Marseille averages 1.2 goals per game over their last ten matches. They also lead with an average of 14.4 attempts per game and possess the ball about 53.1% of the time. In comparison, Nice struggles with just 0.7 goals per game and averages only 43.3% possession.
In terms of player contributions, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Amine Gouiri are Marseille’s top scorers with three goals each, while Tom Louchet leads for Nice with two goals. The stakes are high as both teams aim for crucial points in Ligue 1.
The match at Stade Vélodrome is set for April 26 at 14:45. With both teams facing pressure to improve their standings, this encounter could prove pivotal.
