Lille will be looking to secure a win that could see them finish the matchweek in the top six when they visit Nantes this weekend. The two sides are currently separated by five places and five points, despite having played the same number of games (seven). According to the bookies, the visitors are favourites but Luís Castro’s side will be feeling confident after avoiding defeat in each of their last three Ligue 1 games.

Ligue 1
The two teams have played each other eleven times in Ligue 1 since 2020. During that period, Lille were the better team, picking up seven wins and also kept a clean sheet on five occasions. Nantes only managed one win, with three games ending in a draw. The average number of goals per game was 1.9.
Nantes team overview
Nantes had to wait until matchday three of the campaign to register their first league win, having lost the first two matches 2:0 on aggregate.
They beat Auxerre 1-0, but have not won again since, losing to Nice and drawing with Rennes, Toulouse and Brest.
Despite this poor run of form, head coach Luís Castro will be motivated by the fact that his side didn’t lose either of their last two meetings with Lille, winning one and drawing one.
French professional Francis Coquelin has missed Nantes' last two games due to a hamstring injury and is unlikely to be available for selection on Sunday. The hosts' injury list also includes Johann Lepenant and Tylor Tati.

Lille team overview
In contrast, Lille had a flying start to the campaign, winning three and drawing one of their opening four matches. Les Dogues have not won since then, losing two and drawing one of their last three matches.
But having come from a goal down to draw with record champions PSG last weekend, head coach Bruno Génésio will fancy his side's chances of returning to winning ways against Nantes.
In terms of injuries, the visitors will not be able to use Marc-Aurèle Caillard's services this weekend due to an elbow injury. The goalkeeper is joined in the treatment room by Ousmane Touré, Alexsandro (leg) and Calvin Verdonk (neck).

Prediction
With both Lille and the hosts having failed to win any of their last three and four Ligue 1 encounters respectively, it is quite difficult to pick an outright winner in this tie but there are unlikely to be many goals. The hosts have kept three clean sheets this season and shipped no more than one goal in three of their other five games. Given that Lille's last three games also produced only four goals in total, a 1-1 draw could be on the cards at the La Beaujoire Stadium this weekend.
Three reasons we expect under 2.5 goals in this game
- Only 2 of the last 11 meetings between Nantes and Lille produced more than two goals.
- None of the last two league games of Lille produced more than two goals.
- Five of the last seven league games of Nantes ended with under 2.5 goals.
