Marseille 10/11 to beat Nimes in Friday’s Ligue 1 matchup

Posted December 3rd, 2020 | By: Tom Dunstan

Competition: Ligue 1

Market: Marseille win

Odds: 10/11 @ 888sport

Looking to make it three wins in as many appearances on Friday night, Champions League outfit Marseille will make the trip to Nimes when opening the weekend.

Starting with the hosts, only continuing on what has been a hugely worrying run of form, Nimes have found themselves freefalling down the Ligue 1 table. In their opening 12 top-flight contests so far this season, they have recorded three wins, two draws and seven defeats, scoring 11 and conceding 22 in return. Managing to collect a points tally of 11 out of a possible 36, Nimes open Friday’s fixtures sat down in 16th and holding just a three-point buffer from slipping into the relegation play-off spot. It’s also worth highlighting, Friday’s hosts hold the second-worst defensive record heading into December. As for their recent run of results, including a 3-0 defeat against Monaco last time out, Nimes have now lost five of their last six Ligue 1 contests.

As for the visitors, managing to enjoy a recent boost and clinching Champions League victory in midweek, Marseille now have their sights set on breaking back into the top-four. In their opening 10 Ligue 1 contests this season and holding a pair of games in hand, they have recorded six wins, three draws and just a single defeat, scoring 15 and conceding nine in return. Along with opening Friday’s fixtures sat just two points adrift of breaking back into the European spots, it should be noted that Marseille hold the best defensive record in the division. As for their recent run of results, including a 2-1 win against Olympiakos earlier in the week, the guests have won three of their last four matchups across all formats. Given the recent gulf in class between the two sides, we’re backing an away victory on Friday.
