Marseille vs Nantes Match Preview and Prediction
Marseille vs Nantes: Marseille’s last two league victories saw them score nine goals. Nantes is coming to Stade Orange Velodrome after suffering a depressing 0-2 home defeat to bottom-dwelling Metz. The only other team in the league without a home loss is Marseille.
On Sunday night, Marseille will be hoping to keep up their impressive home performance. At Stade Orange Velodrome, they welcome Nantes in the final match of Matchday No. 25. Les Phocians’ nine goals in consecutive victories against Montpellier and Clermont allowed them to stay ahead of their competitors in the race for European spots.
After replacing Gennaro Gattuso on the bench, Jean-Louis Gasset has found the winning combination. Marseille is scoring freely under the former Ivory Coast boss. Five guys scored in the 5-1 road win over Clermont eight days earlier. Marseille trail third-place Monaco by six points in the league.
Nantes’ tale is completely different. This match follows a shocking 0–2 home loss to the terrible Metz. Les Canaris had no chance last Saturday in front of their fans. They played poorly offensively and defensively that day. Jocelyn Gourvennec’s club is 14th in Ligue 1. Montpellier, in first place in the relegation playoffs, is two points ahead.
Marseille vs Nantes: Betting Analysis
Tradition supports Marseille in this clash. Phocians won five and drew two of their previous seven matches with Nantes. The return game at Stade de la Beaujoire – Louis Fonteneau in September last year ended 1-1. Two of the last six matches between these teams had three or more goals.
Marseille should continue their hot streak and win another league game on Sunday after a tough Europa League game against Villarreal on Thursday. They enter this tie soaring high. Les Phocians scored nine in their last two Ligue 1 triumphs.
When third-placed Monaco is six points away, they cannot afford a home loss to an out-of-form opponent. Les Phocians are unbeaten at home this season. Saturday was Nantes’ poorest game of the season. Les Canaris fell 0-2 at home to bottom-placed Metz after giving them too many chances. Home win at 1.50 odds is our main bet.
As an alternate betting option, the 1.85 odds for Over 2.5 goals are hard to ignore. Marseille has scored four goals in four of its last five games. Nantes struggled defensively against one of the division’s worst attacking lines last weekend. Marseille’s powerful attacking line seems unstoppable at the moment.
