A struggling Nantes side desperate to end a winless horror run hosts a resurgent Marseille team chasing European dreams — and if history is anything to go by, there won’t be a dull moment. Nantes and Marseille have not drawn any of their last four meetings [fotmob](https://www.fotmob.com/matches/marseille-vs-nantes/2t1cib), meaning somebody is walking away happy — and somebody really isn’t. Saturday’s **Ligue 1 Round 32** clash at the Stade de la Beaujoire promises exactly that kind of electricity.

### Match Preview — Form, Stats & What’s at Stake

Let’s start with the elephant in the room — Nantes are in freefall. They haven’t won a match in seven attempts [fotmob](https://www.fotmob.com/matches/marseille-vs-nantes/2t1cib) and have managed just three goals in their last five games . With six key players sidelined through injury or suspension, this is a squad running on fumes right now.

Marseille, meanwhile, are far from perfect but carry a genuine quality gap into this fixture. They average 1.9 goals per match this season [fotmob](https://www.fotmob.com/matches/marseille-vs-nantes/2t1cib) and have been productive going forward. The man in form is unmistakable — Mason Greenwood leads Marseille with 1.7 shots on target per match [fotmob](https://www.fotmob.com/matches/marseille-vs-nantes/2t1cib), making him the most dangerous attacking outlet Roberto De Zerbi’s side possesses right now.

The all-time H2H record heavily favours the visitors too — Marseille lead Nantes 13 wins to 7, with 6 draws across all-time meetings. [fotmob](https://www.fotmob.com/matches/marseille-vs-nantes/2t1cib)

### Predicted Lineups

**Nantes (4-3-3):** Lafont; Pallois, Moutoussamy, Chirivella, Rocha; Mollet, Simon, Blas; Guessand, Mostafa Mohamed, Ganago

### Form Guide (Last 5 Matches)

| Nantes | Marseille |
| --- | --- |
| L (vs PSG 0–3) | L (vs Lorient 0–2) |
| D (vs Brest 1–1) | W (vs Metz 3–1) |
| D (vs Auxerre 0–0) | L (vs Monaco 1–2) |
| D (vs Metz 0–0) | L (vs Lille 1–2) |
| L (vs Strasbourg 2–3) | W (vs Auxerre 1–0) |

Nantes haven’t won in seven — Marseille’s inconsistency, though frustrating, is still miles ahead of Nantes’ current misery.

### Match Prediction

Nantes at home with seven winless games, depleted by injury, and facing a Marseille side with the H2H edge and Greenwood firing? This feels like the away side’s day. Marseille won’t be flashy, but they should have enough quality to grind out three important points in the European race.

**Our Pick: Nantes 0–2 Marseille**
