OGC Nice predicted XI v Marseille: Terem Moffi to start, Dante out

Franck Haise remains without some key players as OGC Nice take on local rivals Olympique de Marseille on Friday night.

There are three notable long-term absentees: Mohamed Abdelmonem, Youssouf Ndayishimiye, and Moise Bombito. None will play again in 2025. With club captain Dante also missing this game through injury, Nice’s options in defence are heavily limited.

Kojo Peprah Oppong, Juma Bah, and Antoine Mendy are all expected to start, with Melvin Bard at wing-back and Ali Abdi, busy during the international break, on the bench. Le Gym are also without Hicham Boudaoui in midfield, as well as Tanguy Ndombélé, who has yet to feature this season.

Terem Moffi is expected to get the nod up front, ahead of summer recruit Kevin Carlos.
