Marseille should sink struggling Strasbourg

BT Sport, 2pm Sunday

Bordeaux v NantesBT Sport ESPN, 2pm
Bordeaux didn’t deserve the 6-2 hiding they endured on their trip to league leaders PSG before the international break and they can return to winning ways at home to Nantes.

Jocelyn Gourvennec’s men won the shot count 18-11 in the French capital and should maintain their 100 per cent home league record by beating the visitors, who are possibly flattered by their prominent league position.

Recommendation
Bordeaux
1pt 7-10 BoyleSports, Coral

Key stat
Nantes have scored just six league goals this term.

Montpellier v NiceBT Sport ESPN, 4pm
Scoring goals already looks like being Montpellier’s downfall this season and a visit from travel-sick Nice could lead to an uninspiring affair.

The hosts have notched just five times this term, with only one of their eight league games providing three or more goals, while Nice have scored only once in their three away league games.

Recommendation
Under 2.5 goals
1pt 8-11 Betfair

Key stat
Montpellier have conceded just six league goals this season.

Strasbourg v MarseilleBT Sport 3, 8pm
Promoted Strasbourg have struggled since their early triumph against ten-man Lille and they look set for a third straight home league defeat when they host improving Marseille.

OM have seemingly put last season’s road woes behind them - their only away defeat came at champions Monaco - and a reproduction of their latest 4-2 win at Nice should be enough to sink the toiling hosts, who have scored just five league goals this term.

Recommendation
Marseille
2pts 68-67 188bet

Key stat
Marseille have lost just one of their last ten away league games.
