Nantes vs Marseille Predictions

• Nantes have drawn three of their last five matches
• Marseille have failed to win four of their last five games
• Nantes beat Marseille 2-0 earlier this season

OM could slip up at Nantes

Nantes’ increasingly desperate fight for survival sees them entertain a Marseille side with renewed Champions League hopes at Stade de la Beaujoire on Saturday

Les Canaris sit five points off the relegation playoff spot with just three games left, and their inferior goal difference means Vahid Halilhodzic’s side must beat at least two of Marseille, Lens or Toulouse to have any realistic chance of staying up.

Memories of their 2-0 win at the Velodrome in January offers a glimmer of hope, but defensive absences — including Fabien Centonze, Tylel Tati and captain Kelvin Amian — leave them exposed.

Les Canaris can hold unreliable visitors

Once in the hunt for a top‑three finish, Marseille arrive under pressure too after slipping to sixth on the back of a run of just one win in their last five. A late collapse against Nice and defeats to Lorient have stalled momentum, while Mason Greenwood’s dip in form has blunted their attack since Roberto De Zerbi’s departure.

Both sides are desperate, but Nantes’ urgency may tilt things in their favour against a Marseille side that  have been unreliable on the road – losing five and drawing one of their last seven trips in all competitions.

Halihodzic’s side can avoid defeat in a tense, high‑pressure encounter with a 0-0 scoreline looking possible given Marseille have failed to score in three of their last five road trips and two of Nantes’s last five have finished goalless.
