Olympique Marseille - Nantes predictions

Best bookmaker online do not see past Olympique Marseille in this game and we wholeheartedly agree. The betting odds work largely in their favour and there is a good reason for it. Nantes will have extremely difficult time running away with anything from this match.

It’s hard to believe even the most optimistic Nantes fans are expecting them to triumph at Olympique Marseille this Sunday. It’s a completely one-sided matchup, and the hosts should have no problems steamrolling their opponents.

Considering Olympique Marseille went into their previous Ligue 1 match with odds of 6.32 to win, it’s safe to say the 3:0 away defeat was quite unexpected. The whole game was completely dominated by their opponents Auxerre, so it seems this game’s hosts are noticeably underperforming.

This game’s away team impressed their home supporters last round by utterly dominating Lens, which was the complete opposite of what most Ligue 1 betting predictions expected. With both a lead at halftime and a 3:1 goal difference, Nantes definitely proved that they can punch above their weight.

We’ve seen an admirable level of consistency from Olympique Marseille and their goalscorers. With 5 goals spread over the last 3 matches, we can safely expect this match not to end with a nill on the scoreboard.

It’s easy to spot a certain trend when looking over Nantes’s recent history – and not in a good way. Their latest appearances were marked by a high concession rate. For example, their previous 3 matches featured more than 5 conceded goals.

The season is quite promising for Olympique Marseille so far – with a 2nd spot in the standings, they’re still in the race for a shot at the title. They are trailing the Ligue 1 leaders by 13 points and not all is lost at this stage of the season.

One of the main reasons the bookies are pricing a home win at 1.45 is the previous clash between these two teams. Earlier in the season, Olympique Marseille won as visitors. To be fair, though, it was a relatively narrow victory.

Despite the risks involved, the strongest prediction in terms of value is an HT/FT bet that the hosts will take lead in the second half. It’s as risky as you might expect, though the 1.45 odds offer a decent return.
