Nantes prepare for this fixture following a 1-1 Ligue 1 drawn game vs FC Lorient.

In that match, Nantes managed 36% possession and 8 shots at goal with 3 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Nantes was Randal Kolo Muani (2'). FC Lorient got 15 attempts on goal with 3 on target. Armand Laurienté (87') scored for FC Lorient.

It has been a rare occasion in recent times that Nantes have kept a clean sheet. The reality is that Les Canaris have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 6 of their previous 6 games, letting in 7 goals during that time. Let’s see whether or not that trend will be continued on into this next match.

Coming into this meeting, Nantes are without a win at home for the past 12 matches in the league. They will be so desperate to end this run.
