Nantes host Marseille at the Stade de la Beaujoire in Ligue 1, with both clubs arriving at this fixture in contrasting states of urgency but with plenty at stake.

Nantes sit 17th in the table, deep in the relegation zone, and their recent run of form has done little to ease the anxiety around the club. Three draws and two defeats from their last five matches tell the story of a side struggling to find the consistency needed to survive.

Marseille, sixth in Ligue 1, are chasing a European place but have wobbled at a critical moment. Roberto De Zerbi's successor, Habib Beye, is managing a squad stretched thin by injuries, and the mood around the club has not been entirely calm heading into this match.

The visitors have their own problems in the final third. Mason Greenwood, Marseille's standout performer this season, has been carrying an injury sustained against Lille and was dropped to the bench for the draw at Nice. His availability here remains uncertain, and his absence would be a significant blow to Marseille's attacking threat.

Beye has also been publicly critical of Arsenal loanee Ethan Nwaneri, questioning the teenager's day-to-day commitment in training and using him sparingly despite the squad's mounting injury list. That internal tension adds another layer of uncertainty to Marseille's preparation.

For Nantes, this is a match they genuinely need to win. A home fixture against a Marseille side that is far from settled offers a real opportunity, and the Canaries will look to make the Beaujoire a difficult place to visit.
