Defenders: Fabio, Jean-Charles Castelletto, Andrei Girotto, Marcus Coco
Midfielders: Moussa Sissoko, Samuel Moutoussamy, Pedro Chirivella

Key matchup
The key matchup in this match will be between Marseille's attack and Nantes' defense. Marseille has one of the most potent attacks in Ligue 1, with Alexis Sanchez, Cengiz Under, and Matteo Guendouzi all capable of creating and scoring goals. Nantes' defense will need to be at their best to keep Marseille's attack at bay.
Prediction
Marseille are the favorites to win this match. They have a more talented and experienced squad than Nantes, and they are in better form. However, Nantes are a dangerous team at home, and they will be looking to make a statement against Marseille. I predict that Marseille will win this match 2-1.
