Sunday's Ligue 1 Predictions Including Nantes vs. Marseille
Title Race Heats Up as Ligue 1 Enters Final Stretch
With just a handful of matches remaining in the 2022/23 Ligue 1 season, the title race is heating up. Paris Saint-Germain currently sit atop the table with a three-point lead over Marseille, but the Parisians have a game in hand. Monaco and Lens are also in the mix, but they trail PSG by six and nine points, respectively.
This weekend, PSG will face off against Troyes at the Parc des Princes. The Parisians will be looking to bounce back from their disappointing 3-1 defeat to Monaco last weekend. Marseille, meanwhile, will travel to Nantes in a crucial match that could have a major impact on the title race.
Nantes vs. Marseille
Nantes and Marseille are two of the most storied clubs in French football. Nantes have won eight Ligue 1 titles, while Marseille have won nine. However, Nantes have not won the title since 2001, while Marseille's last triumph came in 2010.
Nantes are currently 13th in the Ligue 1 table, while Marseille are second. The two teams are separated by 18 points.
Nantes have won two of their last three matches, while Marseille have won three of their last five. Both teams will be looking to continue their good form and pick up a valuable three points.
Prediction
Marseille are the clear favorites to win this match. They are the more talented team and they are in better form. However, Nantes are a dangerous team at home and they will be looking to make a statement against their rivals.
I predict that Marseille will win this match 2-1.
