Nantes - Olympique Marseille betting tips and odds

Nantes are considerably weaker than their opponents in this round of the Ligue 1, and a victory for them would be quite a surprise. We wouldn’t bet on it, though – at odds of 4.75, it’s not very likely to happen.

Having a 1.80 selection on your slip can be a big boost to your potential winnings and with Olympique Marseille largely expected to beat Nantes, you’d be wise to use it.

If someone had offered them a Monaco draw before the last round’s clash, we’re sure Nantes would have taken it. But after a bright first half and a lead they took the fans will surely have been disappointed by the fact their team let this one slip by.

Olympique Marseille’s performance was quite impressive in their latest game against Brest. The 2:0 victory itself may have been predictable considering they were the hosts in a favourable matchup, but the overwhelming success which they achieved it is worth noting.

The first step Nantes need to make to improve is to shore up their defences. With more than 5 goals conceded over the last 3 matches, it seems to be the main aspect of play holding them back.

The visitors are on a bit of a purple patch when it comes to scoring, with 5 goals scored in total in their latest 3 Ligue 1 matches. If the trend continues, we’re bound to see a pretty exciting game here.

The visiting team proved their dominance over Olympique Marseille last season when they secured a convincing victory with a comfortable lead. Some things have changed since then, of course, but it’s obvious they’re more likely to come out on top again.

Thanks to a lack of suspensions or injuries, both teams will have their full rosters ready for an exciting game.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.77 odds offered at 888Sport.
