With the Ligue 1 season well into its stride, Olympique de Marseille have managed to gain four points
When Marseille last turned out in the Ligue 1, the result was a disappointing draw 1-1 against Brest at Stade Francis-Le Ble. They will be hoping for a better result this time.
Also, a draw statistic of one in one game is not all bad, but unfortunately will not bring the success Igor Tudor’s men wishes for ultimately. They currently stand third in the League, with four points for a total of 1 wins, 0 losses and 1 draws having won one game and drawn one game.
Playing at home, Marseille have won one game.

Nantes have 90 minutes to break their recent habit of poor, or disappointing results, following a dissapointing home draw to Lille and Angers SCO.
Also, Nantes have developed a habit of drawing football matches this season, which is reflected by their position in the table. Their position is thirteenth in the League and they have two points, that is, 0W, 0L and 2D having drawn two matches.
Playing away from home, Nantes have drawn one game.
Nantes will have 5 points if they manage to secure a victory.
A solid defensive team
Defence begins with attack and Nantes have defended well as a team, borne out by conceding one goal in their previous matches. Every player has contributed to them delivering a solid defensive display this Ligue 1 season. Nantes will be concerned at having only scored one goal so far this season. This is largely down to the efforts of their stand-out attackers – Moses Simon (1), Alban Lafont, and Fabio.
Nantes’s squad will likely be depleted of three of their key players when they start on Saturday, due to injury or illness.
