• Currently in great shape, OM must return to winning ways after the draw against Monaco to stay in the title race.

  • 7 points from the red zone, Nantes wants to see higher

  • The match will be played at the Stade de La Beaujoire, which can accommodate 37,473 spectators.

Wednesday evening, La Beaujoire hosts a duel between two teams who remain on a good series of invincibility.

The Marseillais have not lost for 9 games (8 wins and 1 draw) and want to stay in contact with Paris Saint-Germain, who are 5 points ahead, at the top of the standings.

For their part, the Canaries have not known the taste of defeat for 8 matches.

But with four 0-0s in this series, they must now regain their offensive efficiency to seek better places in the standings and not get bogged down in the danger zone.

At what time and on which channel to see Nantes - OM counting for the 21st day of Ligue 1?

The meeting of the French championship between the Marseillais and the Nantes will be broadcast on the channel Le Pass Ligue 1 of Amazon Prime Video, for subscribers, this Wednesday February 1 at 7 p.m.

OM must not calculate

After a status quo day at the top of Ligue 1 (draws for PSG, Lens and Marseille on the same scoreline), the Olympians have a great opportunity to tickle the Lensois, 2nd with a 3-point lead, during of this 21st day.

The Marseillais, who have the 3rd best defense and the 3rd best attack in the championship, are logically... 3rd.

In Ligue 1, you have to go back to October 22 to find the trace of a defeat for Marseille.

It was against Lens, the rival of Tudor's men for 2nd place in Ligue 1.

For this meeting against Nantes, goalkeeper Pau Lopez and Jonathan Clauss (3rd best passer in Ligue 1) are back.

The winter recruit of Angers Ounahi is summoned.

Vitinha, recruited during the last hours of the transfer window on Tuesday, is obviously not in the group.

On the side of the absentees, we find Amine Harit, injured, and Éric Bailly, suspended.

Nantes can do better

Nantes are no longer losing, that's a fact, but they now have to win.

With the 4th worst attack and the 7th best defence, the Canaries are not known for their spectacular football this season, but they are picking up points and advancing at a slow trot.

The arrival of Andy Delort in the winter transfer window should boost the offensive animation.

It remains to be seen whether he will be able to make his big debut when they host OM.

Proof of the problem of the men of Antoine Kombouaré in front, they did not frame a single shot in the last match in Clermont (0-0). 

The positive point is that no goal has been conceded from them since the World Cup, with victories won against direct competitors (Auxerre and Montpellier).

Nantes remain on 4 wins and 4 draws since November 13 and must continue this momentum.

For Wednesday evening's duel, Jean-Charles Castelletto (suspended) as well as Nicolas Pallois and Quentin Merlin (injured) will be absent.

Andrei Girotto will therefore be the only central defender available among the usual starters.

Nathan Zeze (17) and Joao Victor (24), the Brazilian on loan from Benfica last week, could therefore have playing time.

Author of 5 goals this season, Mostafa Mohamed is in the group and will be the main offensive threat for the locals.

15 days before facing Juventus, in the round of 16 first leg of the Europa League, the Canaries are having a test of fire against the Marseillais...
