ℹ️ Team News: Nantes

Francis Coquelin (Hamstring injury) and Saïdou Sow (Cruciate ligament tear) aren’t available for Nantes gaffer Antoine Kombouaré.

In all likelihood, Les Canaris look set to opt for a 5-3-2 system for this game featuring Anthony Lopes, Nathan Zeze, J. Castelletto, Nicolas Pallois, Kelvin Amian, Nicolas Cozza, Johann Lepenant, Pedro Chirivella, Louis Leroux, Matthis Abline and Moses Simon.

📋 Team News: Angers SCO

Angers SCO boss Alexandre Dujeux has not got a full squad to pick from. Haris Belkebla (Foot injury), Cédric Hountondji (Achilles tendon contusion), Pierrick Capelle (Dead leg), Bamba Dieng (Adductor pain), Sidiki Chérif (Dead leg) and Emmanuel Biumla (Hamstring injury) will not be playing here.

We’re of the thinking that Les Scoïstes seem most likely to make use of a 5-3-2 system using Yahia Fofana, Marius Courcoul, Jordan Lefort, Florent Hanin, Carlens Arcus, Jacques Ekomie, Zinedine Ould Khaled, Himad Abdelli, Yassin Belkhdim, Farid El Melali and Esteban Lepaul.

🔮 Prediction

We’re of the opinion that Angers SCO have the ability to put one past this Nantes side, however it probably won’t quite be as many as the goals that they could concede.

We’re predicting a very close game with a 2-1 victory for Nantes after 90 minutes. Should be a good one.
