After 5 wins, 9 draws, and 11 losses, the home team finds themselves in 14th position, having accumulated 24 points. In their last match, they suffered a home defeat against Strasbourg (0-1), following another loss away to Olympique Marseille (2-0). In the league, Nantes has garnered only 10 points from a possible 30, recording 2 wins, 4 draws, and 4 losses in their last 10 matches at home. The team has struggled defensively, conceding in each of their last 10 fixtures, although their attack has managed to score in 7 of those matches. In total, they have conceded the first goal in 12 of 25 games and have never managed to overturn the scoreline.
Nantes will enter this match following a 0-1 defeat to Strasbourg, marking their second consecutive loss in the league. The home side typically employs a 3-4-3 formation, promoting a swift playing style, with Matthis Abline, Moses Simon, and Mostafa Mohamed leading the attack. They often focus their offensive play down the left flank, leveraging the depth provided by Marcus Coco. Regrettably, they will be without Tino Kadewere, Fabien Centonze, and Nathan Zézé due to injury.
Team analysis: Lille
After securing 12 wins, 8 draws, and 5 losses, the visiting team is currently in 5th place with 44 points. Their most recent match saw them triumph over Montpellier (1-0) at home, although they previously suffered an away defeat to Paris Saint-Germain (4-1). The team arrives at this encounter on the back of a recent home loss against Borussia Dortmund (1-2) in the Champions League. In the league, Lille has collected 14 points from the last 30 available, with 3 wins, 5 draws, and 2 losses in their last 10 away fixtures. While defensive solidity has not been their strong suit—having conceded in 7 of those matches—their attack has been reliable, scoring in 9 of their last 10 encounters. Notably, in 25 league games, they have managed to overturn the score in 3 of the 8 matches in which they conceded first, with 8 of their 16 away goals coming in the final minutes of matches (76’–90′).
Lille heads into this match following a defeat to Borussia Dortmund, but they recently managed to secure a 1-0 victory over Montpellier. The visiting side typically forms in a 4-3-3 setup, favouring quick transitions, particularly exploiting the flanks. In this formation, Rémy Cabella, Hákon Arnar Haraldson, and Jonathan David lead the attacking front. When pushing forward, they tend to focus their attacks down the left, utilising the pace of defender Gabriel Gudmundsson. Missing from the squad are Samuel Umtiti and Tiago Santos due to injuries.
