On Saturday, starting with 16:00, the match Marseille – Nantes will be played, within the round with number 12 in Ligue 1.
Before moving on to the actual analysis of the confrontation between Marseille and Nantes, we must emphasize that the argument that OM would be more tired because he played in the Champions League is invalid, Nantes in turn playing on Wednesday night, in a backlash against to those from Lens.
In the perspective of Saturday’s duel, the hosts will have almost the entire squad at their disposal. The only absentee of the “white-blues” is Nemanja Radonjic, unavailable for about 2 weeks due to a thigh problem. In addition to replacing Radonjic in the first 11, the French press reports that Villas Boas could rest Dimitri Payet, replacing Benedetto from the first minute.
On the other hand, Nantes will certainly make several changes in the starting team. For the confrontation on “Velodrome”, we expect the visiting team to play from the first minute with Charles Traore, Pedro Chirivella, Marcus Coco and Kalifa Coulibaly, the guest coach hoping to give the necessary “shock” to Nantes to be able to make claims against to Marseille.
Regarding the preparation of the best predictions, we will choose to rely, however, on the number of corners and the number of goals. Thus, regardless of the final result of the game, we will be able to make a profit.
Marseille (4-3-1-2): Mandanda; Sakai, Gonzalez, Caleta-Car, Amavi; Kamara, Rongier, Sanson; Cuisance; Thauvin, Benedetto;
Nantes (4-2-3-1): Lafont; Corchia, Pallois, Girotto, Traore; Chirivella, Toure; Louza, Blas, Coco; Coulibaly.
Marseille comes after the Champions League defeat to FC Porto, score 0-2;
Both teams have scored in 5 of the previous 6 direct matches;
Nantes, two consecutive draws in Ligue 1 (1-1 vs Metz, 1-1 vs Lens).
PREDICTION: Marseille to win @ 2,10
