MARSEILLE - NANTES .... LIGUE 1


It is going to be very tough for Marseille to reach a Champions League spot, unless they collect 3 points tonight.


Up next they meet direct rivals Lens and Toulouse, followed by runaway leaders Lyon, who will be looking for revenge, after OM knocked them out of the domestic cup recently.


At times this season, OM have looked a very good side indeed, at others, merely average. You are never quite sure what you are going to get with them, but they should be capable of beating Ligue 1 strugglers Nantes.


In goal, the visitors will have former Marseille hero, Fabien Barthez who is assured of a warm welcome. They will be without 5-6 starters and will have a caretaker coach, former boss Georges Eo, having been dismissed earlier this week.


No Cisse or Cana for the hosts, but they cannot offer that as an excuse, this HAS to be a home win.


6 points Marseille -1/2 ball 1.55 Betfair.


Good Luck.
