The race for a place in the Champions League spots in France continues on the penultimate weekend of action in the competition. Lille will need to bounce back to form against Nantes to keep their European dreams alive.
Ligue 1 Preview
Lille will be looking to keep their hopes of a top three finish in Ligue 1 alive this Sunday when they travel to Nantes. The French side currently sits two points adrift of Brest, and they will need to bounce back after seeing a recent wobble in their form after losing two of their last three. However, a success in this outing on the road will at least take their chase to the final weekend.
Nantes will also be playing for important points on Sunday, as their status in the top flight for next season is still far from assured. At this point, they sit four points clear of the relegation playoff spot, but they will at least take confidence from the fact that they have avoided defeat in each of their last two matches in the competition.
Bet hereLille have had the uncanny ability to bounce back from defeat this term, as they have won on all occasions in their following match after being beaten. They also come into this round after winning on their previous away day against Metz. However, they have failed to win back-to-back away matches since September 2022.
Nantes have a poor home record in France this season, and that is evident based on the fact that they have lost each of their last eight. In fact, they could set the Ligue 1 record for the longest losing run in front of their own fans if they don’t claim maximum points on Sunday.
Nantes vs Lille Head to Head
Nantes have a poor record in this fixture. They have gone 16 league matches without a victory against Lille, losing on 12 occasions across their period. In fact, Nantes have only gone a longer period without victory against PSG in their top-flight history.
Nantes vs Lille Prediction
This is an interesting battle between sides battling for points at opposite ends of the standings this weekend. However, it could be worth siding with Lille to pick up a vital victory, given their excellent ability to quickly bounce back following a defeat.
