Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
After holding Lens to a 1-1 draw at Stade Bollaert-Delelis, Le Havre will be aiming to return to winning ways in the Ligue 1 when they face Nantes in Sunday’s matinee. Le Havre showed character in the last league match, but their elite division status is still in great danger. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of the visit of Nantes.
Les Canaris, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-1 loss to Olympique Lyon, meaning that they are low on confidence ahead of the relegation six-pointer. Nantes and Le Havre are level on points in the Ligue 1 standings and, taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Eray Comert is both injured and suspended for the match, while Moses Simon and Bastien Meupiyou remain in the recovery room.
Highlighted Team (Nantes):
Founded on April 21, 1943 Nantes is a professional football club that compete in French Ligue 1. Les Canaris are considered one of the most famous French clubs and they had a lot of success during the sixties and the seventies. Nantes won their first Ligue 1 title in the 1964/1965 season and 36 years later (2000/2001) they clinched their eighth (last) domestic trophy.
Speaking of the club’s European success, les Canaris did well to make it to the Champions League semis in 1996, but Italian giants Juventus proved to be a big catch for the French outfit. Nantes welcome their rivals at La Beaujoire-Louis Fonteneau and the capacity of the stadium is 38.004.
The likes of Vahid Halilhodzic, Adel Selimi, Michel Der Zakarian, Viorel Moldovan, Mario Yepes, Marcel Desailly, Didier Deschamps, Claude Makelele, Christian Karembeu and Dimitri Payet are the notable footballers who played for the club in the past. Nantes are well known for their yellow jerseys and that is the reason why they are nicknamed the Canaries (les Canaris).
