Marseille v Nantes Betting Tips [22 February 2020]

Olympique Marseille are second in the French Ligue One while Nantes are eighteen points behind at twelfth-place. 
With eleven points separating the from closest opponents Stade Rennais, and with only thirteen games left to play, Champions League football is well within Marseille's vision as they prepare to fight it out with Nantes. 
In their most recent league game, Marseille beat Lille 2-1, with Germain and Benedetto coming through to ensure that their team overturned an earlier strike by Victo Osimhen. 
The win was the third consecutive league victory for Marseille and it extended their unbeaten run to fourteen games. 
Marseille's home success has been instrumental in their great league run as they have only lost once at the Stade Velodrome this season. From thirteen league matches they have won nine times and drawn thrice. 
Nantes, the visitors, have not won any of their last six games and have a terrible away record comprising just two wins in their last nine travelling games.
They go into the match after a 0-0 draw at FC Metz, which was preceded by a 3-3 draw at Dijon. Simon and Girotto scored in the Dijon draw, with a Mikael Alphonse own-goal completing the team's count. 
Nantes will have to outdo themselves to take down Marseille, who still have a shot at the title and will most certainly be going for it. 

Marseille drew 0-0 with Nantes in the first leg but they have now settled into the league and will do all it takes to win this home fixture. Their overall home runs is testament of their ability to carry the day and we see assured value in backing them.
