Preview, Prediction and Betting Tips

Nancy vs Nantes
France Ligue 1
Date: Saturday, September 17, 2016
Start: 19pm BST
Location: Stade Marcel Picot, Tomblaine, Nancy.

Nancy finally won last weekend when they beat Lorient 2-0 to exit Ligue 1. What was equally important was that they also scored goals, their first of the season. He faces a Nantes that has really fallen out of favor due to its bad start. In fact, this game is 19-18 in the league.

Nantes lost 3 games in the recovery and hasn't scored in a month. This is one of Nantes' worst starts to a season in its history. The feeling is that coach Rene Girard, who took over in the summer, could be sacked and return to Nimes in the near future, where as a player he is considered a legend. This was undoubtedly what the French consider a rubber start (nightmare) for Girard and Nantes.

Nancy vs Nantes: head to head stats

These teams have rarely met at a competitive level and we have to go back to 2003 for the last match which was in the Coupe de la Ligue. There Nantes won 3-1 at home. We have nothing to fall back on from those two sides.

Nancy vs Nantes: Prediction

Nancy got a good win last weekend because he also kept a clean sheet and his aim will be to forget about the start of the season and focus on recovery. This game is a long way for Nantes to travel and the team look perplexed. Girard lost the locker room? The best Nantes can hope for is a point they can get.
