On Wednesday evening, Nantes host Marseille in Ligue One, as the visitors attempt to move back into the league’s top four.

The home side are currently on a run of three games without a win in the French top-flight. Their recent form in Ligue One has epitomised Nantes form this season, as they have been highly inconsistent.

Last time out in the Ligue One, the home side suffered a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Saint Etienne. The defeat leaves Nantes 12th in the table ahead of the midweek fixtures in the French top-flight.

The home side’s recent Ligue 1 games have been relatively high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in five of their last seven matches.

Nantes are unbeaten in three games on home soil in Ligue One. However, they have won just three of their last 12 league games on home soil, with two of those wins coming in their last three league matches.

Their recent home games in the French top-flight have been relatively high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four matches on home soil.

Marseille are currently fifth in Ligue One, a point behind fourth-place Lille and two behind third-place Lyon. OM’s recent form has been inconsistent in the French top-flight, as the visitors have won two, lost two and drawn one of their last five league games. Last time out they drew 0-0 at Reims.

OM have been highly inconsistent away from home this season, winning just three of their last nine league games on their travels. Marseille’s recent away games in Ligue 1 have been high scoring, with seven of their last eight matches producing over 2.5 goals.

Forebet predicts that Marseille will improve their away record by winning in a high scoring clash.
