FC Nantes did well to achieve a 3-1 win over Lens last weekend after a demoralizing 7-1 defeat against Monaco only a week earlier as Monaco, but Les Canaris is again opposed to heavy opposition in an Olympique de Marseille who wanted to return to winning ways after their defeat against Auxerre. Nantes will have to do with the absence of Nathan Zeze, Nicolas Cozza, Adel Mahamoud and Tino KadeWere for their journey to the Provence region. Yougster Louis Leroux scored during his first start at Stade de la Beaujoire last weekend. The 19-year-old impressed both his manager and his supporters with his positive run-out for the side and opened the score with his very first goal for the club. Nothing prevents Kombouaré from handing over a persistent run in the side for the midfielder. Apart from that, it should be the classic 4-3-3 for Les Canaris. While Francis Coquelin came up and last weekend offered an assist against Lens in his first performance in Ligue 1 for more than 13 years, the feeling that the Frenchman might not be ready to start against Les Olympiens this Sunday in the Vélodrome. Matthis Abline should lead the line again for Nantes, where Moses Simon arrives the game last weekend after a great performance and goal. Probable Nantes XI vs Olympique de Marseille:
Lopes – Amian, Sow, Castelletto, Pallois (C) – Lepenant, Douglas, Leroux – Abline, Mohamed, Simon.
