4 Jan
Summary
- Marseille seeks fourth straight win at home, remaining unbeaten at Orange Velodrome.
- Nantes battles relegation, sitting 17th with 11 points before winter break.
- Key players absent for both sides due to AFCON and injuries.

Marseille, aiming to bolster their Ligue 1 title challenge, hosts Nantes at the Orange Velodrome on Sunday. The home side seeks a fourth consecutive win, building on an unbeaten home record that has seen them secure six wins and two draws. This strong performance places them third in the league, four points behind second-placed PSG.
Nantes, conversely, is in a precarious position, sitting 17th with 11 points and facing a serious relegation threat. They recently parted ways with manager Luis Castro and are now led by interim boss Ahmed Kantari. Despite some resilience on the road, Nantes has struggled significantly in the league, enduring a three-game losing streak.
