Prediction: 1-2
Marseille
Stade de la Beaujoire will be the centre of attention when Nantes and Olympique Marseille lock horns in an eagerly-awaited Ligue 1 game. Les Canaris aim to recover from a 3-1 loss to Strasbourg and you should know that they are on a six-game winless run in the national championship. Nantes are desperate to give fans something to cheer about, but they will have to do it without forward Moses Simon.
OM, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 3-0 loss to PSG where midfielder Amine Harit got sent-off after just 20 minutes. The Morocco international is banned for Sunday’s clash, while the likes of Nadir, Blanco, Moumbagna, Merlin, Carboni, and Garcia remain in the recovery room. Anyhow, away win should be considered as Marseille are undefeated in the previous five meetings with Nantes at Stade de la Beaujoire. Ismael Kone is widely expected to replace Harit in the starting XI.
Highlighted Player (Amine Harit):
Amine Harit is a French-born Moroccan footballer, who plays for Schalke 04 in Bundesliga. Born in Pontoise (France) on June 18, 1997, Harit began his youth career in the suburbs of Paris, learning the football basics with Argentuil C.O.
After spending four years at Esperance Paris 19eme, the attacking midfielder moved to famous French club Paris Saint-Germain. However, he quickly returned to Esperance Paris 19eme and in 2011 he joined fellow French club Red Star. One year later he moved to Nantes, where he ended his youth career.
Amine Harit continued playing for les Canaris at senior level and after scoring one goal in 30 league games for Nantes, he signed a contract with Bundesliga side Schalke 04. Harit made two appearances for France U21 team, but he represents Morocco at senior level. The attacking midfielder, who is used as a winger as well, made his Morocco debut on October 7, 2017 against Gabon in the 2018 FIFA world cup qualifiers.
Highlighted Team (Nantes):
Founded on April 21, 1943 Nantes is a professional football club that compete in French Ligue 1. Les Canaris are considered one of the most famous French clubs and they had a lot of success during the sixties and the seventies. Nantes won their first Ligue 1 title in the 1964/1965 season and 36 years later (2000/2001) they clinched their eighth (last) domestic trophy.
Speaking of the club’s European success, les Canaris did well to make it to the Champions League semis in 1996, but Italian giants Juventus proved to be a big catch for the French outfit. Nantes welcome their rivals at La Beaujoire-Louis Fonteneau and the capacity of the stadium is 38.004.
The likes of Vahid Halilhodzic, Adel Selimi, Michel Der Zakarian, Viorel Moldovan, Mario Yepes, Marcel Desailly, Didier Deschamps, Claude Makelele, Christian Karembeu and Dimitri Payet are the notable footballers who played for the club in the past. Nantes are well known for their yellow jerseys and that is the reason why they are nicknamed the Canaries (les Canaris).
