With the hosts having been subject to an exciting takeover this week, Patrick Vieira’s side should be in good spirits ahead of OM’s visit
Nice begin a new era for the club on Wednesday when they host Marseille in a Ligue 1 clash at the Allianz Riviera.
Taken over by Ineos at the beginning of the week, Patrick Vieira’s side are set to be revolutionised, with significant financial muscle now behind them in the form of Britain’s richest man, Jim Ratcliffe.
Marseille, meanwhile, have had a difficult start to the season under new boss Andre Villas-Boas and find themselves travelling along the Mediterranean coast seeking their first win of the season.
