Lille eyeing ambitious third-place finish as Nantes clash looms.
In a crucial showdown, FC Nantes aim to break their winless streak and secure their Ligue 1 status against a high-flying Lille, who pursue a potential third-place finish.
Nantes
Nantes are without a win in three games following last weekend’s goalless draw with Brest. It was the club’s second draw in a row, leaving the Yellow House in 14th place on the Ligue 1 table.
Now with 33 points, Nantes, who have a goal ratio of 0.91 goals per game this season, having scored 29 goals in 32 Ligue 1 games, are mathematically immune to automatic relegation. The team is seven points above the bottom two with just two games to go.
However, they head into the weekend’s clash four points clear of the relegation play-off spot, hoping to seal their place in Ligue 1. Nantes are winless in their last 16 matches against Lille in Ligue 1, with 4 draws and 12 losses.
Furthermore, Nantes have lost each of their last eight home games in Ligue 1 and could record the longest losing streak on home soil in the history of the top-flight. A 3—4—3 formation with Tino Kadewere, Matthis Abline, and Bénie Traoré in attack is expected.
La Maison Jaune will be without Moses Simon and Ignatius Ganago for the weekend’s game.
LOSC Lille
Lille are in 4th place on the Ligue 1 table with 55 points (15W, 10D, 7L) and are looking to return to winning ways. On Monday, they lost in a topsy-turvy away clash against Lyon, one that ended 4-3 despite having the lead midway through the first half.
Les Dogues are now looking to bounce back, having formed a habit of doing so after a defeat in Ligue 1 this season. Furthermore, having won their last Ligue 1 away game (2-1 at Metz), they could win back-to-back away games in the top-flight for the first time since doing so between August and September 2022.
An ambitious 3rd-place finish remains mathematically within reach for Lille, with Brest (58 points) only three points ahead. The Mastiffs, who are only one point above fifth-placed OGC Nice (54 points), finished in 5th place last season.
The familiar 4—2—3—1 formation with Jonathan David in attack is expected. Lille will be without Benjamin André and Andrej Ilic for the weekend’s game, while Yusuf Yazici, who was forced off against Lyon, is in doubt.
