In form Olympique de Marseille will play host to Nantes at the Stade Vélodrome in a Ligue 1 clash penciled for Sunday. The hosts are placed seventh going into the game, having amassed 36 points while the visitors are 14th with 25 points. Marseille are chasing for another season in the Champions League after missing out this season. Recently appointed Jean-Louis Gasset has engineered a good run at the team after taking over from Genarro Gattuso. His men are enjoying a recent fine run of form that has seen them win four straight games in all competitions. The most recent of those victories was a 4-0 humbling of Spanish side Villareal in the Europa League. Former Arsenal forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang bagged a brace while Jordan Veretout and Yerson Mosquera also scored. In their most recent league clash they also managed a 5-1 thumping of bottom placed Clermont.

Nantes are flirting with relegation following an inconsistent recent run of results that leaves them two points from relegation places. The visitors have won only two of their last 10 league games, a run that has contributed to their lowly position. In their last outing, Jocelyn Gourvennec’s men suffered a 2-0 loss to fellow relegation candidates Metz. Georges Mikautadze and Matthieu Udol found the back of the net to compound Nantes to their 13th league defeat of the season. Their travels have also been poor, having lost four of the last seven league games. Nantes’ head to head against Marseille does not inspire confidence as they have lost four of the last five meetings. In the first meeting between these two this season, Nantes came from behind to force a 1-1 draw despite being a man down.
