Nantes vs Olympique de Marseille Prediction: Marseille to get win number 3

Nantes are still searching for their first win of the new campaign and will have to try against Olympique Marseille in this game. After 2 defeats and 1 draw in their first 3 league games, the pressure is building on the team and they will be feeling desperate to grab the opening win as they welcome Marseille to the Stade de la Beaujoire.

Marseille on the other hand are looking more confident than the hosts and another win looks likely for the team. With 2 wins and a draw in the opening 3 games, there is a great possibility they will grab win number 3 against a side that has not won a single game this season.

Nantes

Nantes' poor start to the season would not be much of a surprise as they struggled throughout the preseason games leading to the season. Now in the new season, they are searching for the opening win of the season, after getting 2 defeats and 1 draw in all 3 games. They lost 2-1 to Toulouse at home and then lost 2-0 at home against Lille Losc, before playing a 3-3 draw against AS Monaco in their last game.

In the 3-3 draw with Monaco, Nantes started the game on the front foot, scoring 2 goals in the first half, while conceding once. Mostafa Mohammed scored Nantes’ first goal from the spot in just 5 minutes and 10 minutes later, Jean-Charles Castelletto doubled their lead. But they could not keep Monaco from getting back in the game, as Takumi Minamio scored Monaco’s first goal in the 27th minute. And in the second half, Nantes stretched back the lead with the third goal from Mostafa Mohammed in the 48th minute and once again AS Monaco got another goal in the 58th minute from Wissam Ben Yedder. The game ended with a late drama, as Myron Boadu scored AS Monaco’s third goal in the 85th minute to end the game as a draw.

Nantes are 15th on the Ligue 1 table at the moment, with just 1 point from 3 matches. They have 0 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats and a goal aggregate of 4:7.

Streaks: no wins (6), without a clean sheet (6), less than 4.5 cards (9/9).

They started off the campaign with a 2-1 win against Reims at home, then they played a 2-2 draw with Metz away from home, before beating Stade Brest 2-0 at home last weekend.

In the 2-0 win over Stade Brest, Marseille made their mark early in the game as Chancel Mbemba scored the opening goal in just 4 minutes into the game.
