Nantes vs Lille
After crashing out of the Champions League, Lille turn their attention to domestic matters as they travel to Nantes for a French Ligue 1 clash on Saturday.
The visitors are pushing to make a return to Europe next season while the hosts are in a battle to avoid the drop. Both teams have struggled defensively lately and boast enough quality going forward to ensure there will be goals here.
Nantes Form
Sitting just three points above the bottom three, the task for Nantes will be to ease away from the danger zone. However, they have shown little fight lately, losing four of their last five Ligue 1 matches, including a 1-0 home defeat to Strasbourg in their previous fixture.
The defeat to Strasbourg highlights a poor home record for Nantes, who have only won once in their last five matches at the Stade de la Beaujoire. However, they recently held out for a 2-2 draw with Monaco and a 1-1 scoreline with Lyon.
Those two results highlight one of the problems for Nantes, who often show flashes of attacking quality while being unable to keep things tight at the back. Antoine Kombouare's men have scored and conceded in three of their last five Ligue 1 home matches.
Lille Form
It has been a disappointing week for Lille, who crashed out of the Champions League after a 2-1 home defeat to Borussia Dortmund. That result maintains an erratic run for Bruno Genesio’s men, who have won just two of their last five matches across all competitions.
The good news for Lille is that they have fared slightly better on the domestic front, winning three of their last four Ligue 1 matches, including a 1-0 home victory over Montpellier. However, they often struggle on their travels and are winless in six of their last seven away matches.
Jonathan David remains the major attacking threat for Lille and has scored in his last two matches, to take his tally to 14 Ligue 1 goals for the season. The visitors have scored first in three of their last four Ligue 1 matches but are without a clean sheet in five of their last six away fixtures across all competitions.
Head to Head
Lille have a fine record against Nantes and are unbeaten in the last 15 matches, claiming 11 wins in that run. However, they were held to a 1-1 home draw in the reverse fixture back in September.
Verdict
Nantes and Lille have had their problems lately having struggled to keep things tight at the back. Both teams have scored in four of their last five meetings and could be set for a similar outcome on Saturday.
Lille have scored first in their last three matches against Nantes, with David finding the net three times in that run. This clash is likely to offer up a similar outcome.
