Nantes lost to Nancy 0:2 in the latest home games last weekend and prolonged their winless series to make it three games long already. In those matches the Canaries drew Rennes 1:1 and lost to PSG 0:2. The teams are so close to each other in the second half of the table that Nantes are just 4 points above the last place in the standings being on the 15th position with 26 points gained. We must also admit that Nantes scored 15 goals in the current season and are the least efficient team of the national elite division.
As for Marseille, they show really unstable results in the latest games of the Ligue 1, yet, they still have chances to take a position in the Euro Cups zone they are 4 points below now. The victory against Guingamp in the latest game 2:0 was the second one in the latest 5 games. In those matches Marseille lost to Metz 1:0, Lyon 3:1 and Monaco 1:4 and outplayed Montpellier 5:1.
As the history of the previous games played between the teams show, Marseille have an advantage in the upcoming match. Moreover, Marseille won the first round game of the current season 2:1.

That’s why we think that Marseille will manage to avoid a loss in the upcoming game.
