Not really expected at this place in the ranking, OM continues to surprise week after week and seems to isolate themselves in 2nd place in this Ligue 1. Indeed, they have 11 lengths more than the Rennais who are their first pursuers and should play the Champions League next season. Undefeated for 14 days in the league, the Phocéens have just won their last 3 games against Saint-Etienne (0-2), Toulouse (1-0) and Lille last week (1-2). On the other hand, last week, they were beaten by OL in the Coupe de France (1-0).
After a very convincing first part of the season, the Nantes have clearly reduced the pace since several meetings. After having been defeated 3 times against Bordeaux (0-1), Rennes (3-2) and PSG (1-2), the Canaries took a point against Dijon (3-3) then against Metz (0-0 ) last week. In the classification, the men of Christian Gourcuff are 12th in the classification with 7 units behind 3rd place.
