Les Minots under Roberto De Zerbi are a treat to watch this season.
Nantes who are without a win in six games are set to take on spirited Marseille at the Stade de la Beaujoire-Louis Fonteneau in round ten of the Ligue 1 action looking to return to winning ways with a win here.
After a bright start to the campaign, Nantes have suffered a recent dip in form failing to win any of their previous six games. Antoine Kombouare’s side have accumulated 10 points from the opening nine games of the season to find themselves in the 12th position. Defensively fragile in recent games, they will have to work on their defence after conceding some soft goals which at the start of the season seemed impossible.
On the other hand, Marseille have endured a positive start to the season under their new manager, Roberto De Zerbi, who has implemented more of an attacking approach to the team. Despite losing against PSG in the previous game, it is early to judge them as favourites with the team still adjusting to De Zerbi’s style. They are currently occupying the third spot in the standings gathering 17 points from the opening nine games.

Players to Watch
Mostafa Mohamed (Nantes)
The Egyptian international has made a slow start to the season, unlike his standard. He has been unable to take his chances for the team. However, if there is one player who you can bet on to score the goals, it is him after a productive spell in the previous campaigns. This season, he has scored just once for the team and will be hoping to start delivering the goals consistently.
Mason Greenwood (Marseille)
Mason Greenwood has found a new lease of life in the colours of Marseille where he is thriving at the moment. After a tough few years, he is starting to deliver the performances that we are accustomed to seeing from his time at Manchester United.
Greenwood has already scored six goals from the starting nine games and will be hoping to add a few here. Comfortable on both feet, he can cause menace in the opposition area with his directness, ability to finish with either leg and to beat his man with his excellent dribbling skills.
