Nantes Preview – Can Nantes produce another stubborn display?
Nantes opened their account in this season’s Ligue 1 campaign with a solid point on the road last weekend, drawing 0-0 away at Angers, and they now return to their home surroundings for Friday night’s clash with Lille.
Friday’s hosts finished in a creditable top half position of 9th place at the end of last season which was largely attributed to their solid form at home; W11, D4, L4 saw Nantes make themselves a tough unit to beat in their own backyard and this was evident in their final 11 games which included just one loss but also seven wins as well.
Lille Preview – Can Lille build on emphatic victory?
Lille opened their account in style last weekend in the French top flight when they handed a 4-1 hammering to visitors Auxerre at their Stade Pierre-Mauroy and the visitors will be hoping they can replicate that outcome in Friday night’s trip to Nantes.
However, the bigger picture shows Lille have captured just three wins from their last 10 league matches overall while also winning just four of their last nine games on the road, so Lille are by no means a guaranteed three-point haul in this fixture.
