The winless Nice Dauphins (0-7) host playoff-contending Marseille Blue Stars (4-2-1) on Saturday, April 19, in a pivotal French D1 Elite clash at Stade des Dauphins.

Desperate Dolphins Seek Elusive Win
Nice’s last-second collapse against Argonauts epitomized their winless 2025 campaign. A home victory is critical to sustain survival hopes, but mental resilience remains their biggest hurdle.

Blue Stars Eye Playoff Push
Marseille’s league-leading defense (10.2 PPG allowed) and wide receiver Hadrien Lynda’s offensive surge have fueled their resurgence. A win would cement their postseason credentials and title ambitions.

Key Matchup: Crunch-Time Execution
Marseille’s defense thrives under pressure, while Nice’s late-game struggles persist. If Lynda exploits the Dolphins’ vulnerabilities early, the hosts’ survival hopes could drown before halftime.
