Nantes team overview
Nantes are playing their 13th consecutive season in Ligue 1. In recent seasons, they have constantly floated around the danger zone but managed to survive every time. This season, the popular Canaries are struggling again, as they have won just six points in the first eight rounds and sit in 15th place - on a level with two other teams below them. So, it's been an overall bad start to the season, but there have been some positives recently, and we can safely say they are improving as the season progresses.
After a 2:0 loss vs Lille in the previous game, coach Luís Castro spoke to the media. He admitted the team made mistakes and acknowledged that Lille are a stronger team overall. However, he wasn't too unhappy with a loss and expressed optimism about the upcoming games.

Prediction
Paris FC had a better start to the season, but we cannot really say they are in good form as they have won just once in the last four games against an OK competition. Their only win came against Lorient (2:0) in a pretty close match. Overall, this season, they won three out of eight games - 37.5%.
Nantes aren't in good form either. However, three draws and one loss is a pretty fine result, at least for this type of bet. To be fair, their 2:0 loss in the previous game vs Lille was a pretty poor one. However, Lille are a much better team than these two, so we can give them a pass on that one. Also, the Canaries were solid away from home recently, securing draws in the last two games vs Brest and Toulouse.
Considering all the above, we expect a really close match, but we believe the Canaries are good enough to at least secure a draw on the road in this Ligue 1 tie.
3 Reasons why Nantes should win or draw
- Paris FC won once in the last four games
- Paris FC won three out of eight games - 37.5%
- Nantes drew three out of the last four games
