Marseille vs Nantes Prediction

Les Phocéens have been in great form, winning four games on the trot. They have scored 16 goals while conceding just three times and will look to build on that form. They have registered three consecutive wins at home against the visitors, scoring eight goals, and are strong favorites.

There are no team news updates for head coach Jean-Louis Gasset, who is expected to tweak his starting XI as he looks to navigate through a busy schedule of fixtures.

Les Canaris have registered just two wins in their last 10 league outings, with both coming in away games. They have suffered seven losses in that period while failing to score six times. They have just one win in their last nine meetings against the hosts and might struggle here.

Kelvin Amian is back from an injury, while Moussa Sissoko is available after serving a suspension. Nicolas Pallois is a doubt with a back injury. Nantes supporters have been banned from traveling to the Vélodrome, which should be a blow for manager Jocelyn Gourvennec.

Considering the upturn in form for the home team and their impressive record in recent meetings against the visitors, Marseille are expected to record a comfortable win.

Prediction: Marseille 3-1 Nantes
