Marseille have won all four games under Jean-Louis Gasset and all by margins of two goals or more
Nantes have lost three of their four away league games to top-eight teams by two goals or more
Marseille are averaging 2.6 goals per game at home since November
Marvellous Marseille can win with a bit to spare
Marseille have been irresistible since Jean-Louis Gasset took charge and should win a fifth game in a row when they take on inconsistent Nantes at Orange Velodrome on Sunday.
Les Phoceens ran amok to beat a good Villarreal side 4-0 on Thursday to make next week’s Europa League return clash a formality with in-form Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang netting twice.
The Gabon goalscorer now has six to his name since Gasset took charge four games ago with Marseille winning each of those matches by a comfortable margin of two goals or more.
Canaries have been caught out away to top teams
So backing the hosts to finish a couple of goals clear of the Canaries seems a solid play right now. Nantes’s away results have been better than their home ones of late, but they have lost three of their four away games against top-eight teams this term by scores of 2-0, 3-1 and 4-0.
Nantes have also lost two of their last three games by scores of 2-0, although the way Marseille — and Aubameyang — are playing right now there may be more goals in this for the hosts.
