Nantes v Lille
French Ligue 1
Date: Saturday, 26th November 2016
Kick off at 19:00 UK Time
Venue: La Beaujoire, Nantes.
Nantes are diving deep into trouble back in 17th position and are winless in their last 4 games, though they have had some tough fixtures lately, losing to Nice and PSG. But a possible relegation could be on the wall; one of the tell-tale signs is that they managed just 9 goals all season. Nantes has the worst home record in Ligue 1 where from 6 games they have 5 points and the fans have witnessed just one win.
The big news at Lille was the sacking of Frederic Antonetti which actually did not come as a big surprise. The head post is now vacant and there will be big changes at the club as Gerard Lopez is set to take over the running of the team.
Nantes vs Lille: Head to Head Stats
Lille has not lost at Nantes for 9 years and last season they ran out easy 3-0 winners. Overall Nantes have found Lille to be a difficult opponent where they have just 3 wins over them since 2004. Six of the last seven games have featured fewer than three goals. The last three ties between the two have seen the away side winning 1-0 at half time.
Nantes vs Lille: Prediction
Right now without a manager and an owner Lille are a cork floating in the ocean, the question is can Nantes take advantage of this? The answer is no, the reality is that this Lille team have some egos, and need a stronger manager in charge, right now the team will actually be upbeat as they prepare and rely on their captain for support. Long term this is a nightmare, short term it’s perfect for this club and Lille can win this game and get all three points at a great price.
