Now 2nd in the league, Olympique Marseille have built an incredible season with 14 wins, 4 draws, and 5 losses. Despite a recent slip—a 3-0 home loss to Auxerre tainted by a red card for Derek Cornelius—their home record remains unbroken (3 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss). Tactically wise manager Roberto De Zerbi favors changing formation to 3-4-2-1 or 3-4-1-2 to surprise the opponent because of the latter's inclination to find openings in defence. Surprisingly, Marseille usually score first (5 out of 5 against head-to-head) and classically concede early in matches (6 out of 8 games), something which they will need to suppress while attempting to reclaim command against Nantes.
Nantes Preview
Struggling in 14th position, Nantes have registered 5 victories, 9 draws, and 9 losses in total, with their away form also patchy (1 win, 2 draws, 2 losses). Their recent 3-1 win at Lens—their first win in a five-match sequence on the road—thanks to Louis Lerux, Moses Simon (penalty), and Meschak Elia strikes, provided them with the much-needed boost. With manager Antoine Kombouare in charge and using setups like 4-3-3 or 5-3-2, Nantes look to tighten their defense and establish attacking rhythm. Defensive weaknesses remain, however, as seen with their goal-surrendering streak (9 of 10 games) and weakness to falling behind early on. While their head-to-head record against Marseille is not comforting, the game might still contain flashes of inspiration against the grain.
Head to Head
Marseille have dominated the head-to-head in their recent 10 meetings with 7 wins, 2 draws, and only 1 win for Nantes. Some of the key trends include:
