Marseille vs Nantes Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Nantes have won half of their last four Ligue 1 games.

Marseille are all set to host Nantes on matchday 24 of the Ligue 1 2024-25 edition. The hosts are in the second spot on the league table. They have won 14 of their 23 league matches for now. Nantes on the other hand are in the 14th place, having won only five games in the same number of matches.

Marseille will be at home, which will give them some confidence although they are coming in after facing a defeat against Auxerre in their last league game. Marseille’s defence was loose as they conceded three goals, and because of their poor display of attack, they were unable to convert any of their attack into goals.

FC Nantes have shown some below-average performances. They are in the bottom half of the table. If Nantes go on with this form, then they might end up getting relegated. They will have to give a tough fight here to at least secure a draw.

• Kick-off Time: 01:15 IST / Sunday, March 2: 19:45 GMT/ 14:45 ET/ 11:45 PT

Players to Watch

Mason Greenwood (Marseille)

The 23-year-old English forward has been in good form this season. Mason Greenwood is the top goal scorer for his side in the Ligue 1. He is once again going to play an important role in the attacking front. Greenwood is scoring goals for fun and also knows how to set up some plays for his fellow teammates.

Matthis Abline (Nantes)

The Frenchman is very capable of helping Nantes pull off an upset here. Matthis Abline is the top goal scorer for Nantes in the league this season. He has scored seven goals in 23 matches this season. Abline will have to step and score a goal or two to help his side stand a chance against Nantes.
