Nantes vs Marseille Prediction & Tips
Nantes has extended its winless streak to eight games (3 draws, 5 losses) after falling 2-1 to Rennes last weekend. This result leaves the team in 17th place, five points behind the relegation playoff spot, with only three matchdays remaining. Their 13-season run in the top flight appears to be nearing its end, as two of their three remaining matches will be against teams currently in the top six, and even playing two of those games at home does not seem enough to boost their confidence. The “Canaries” have the worst home record in Ligue 1 this season (W2, D3, L10), and considering they have won only one match against teams currently ranked 11th or higher (D5, L13), they do not appear to be approaching this match with much optimism, although that lone victory came precisely against Marseille.
Marseille isn’t in great form either, as the 1-1 draw against Nice in the last matchday means they’ve managed just one win in their last five games (1 draw, 3 losses), putting their European qualification spot in jeopardy. Marseille sits in sixth place and is just two points ahead of Monaco, so if they don’t improve their recent results, they could miss out on the Top 6 for the second time in the last ten seasons. Playing on the road doesn’t help ease those concerns either, as Marseille has won just one of its last seven official away matches (D1, L5), though it has at least managed to win all four of its away league matches this season against teams currently in the bottom six.
