Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Nantes
Match Time & Date:
16 March 2024
16:00
Prediction: 1-0
Strasbourg
Following back-to-back defeats to Metz and Marseille, Nantes will look to return to winning ways in the Ligue 1 when they take on Strasbourg on Saturday afternoon. Les Canaris have been struggling in front of goal of late, but given Le Racing’s poor form in the French top flight, home win should be considered. Douglas Augusto is banned for the match, while fellow midfielder Bastien Meupiyou remains on the sidelines with a knee injury.
Strasbourg, on the other hand, have collected only one point in total from the last five league matches. As Patrick Vieira’s men had only one shot on target in a 1-0 loss to Monaco at the weekend, we are tempted to put our money on Nantes. As for the visitors, all Jessy Deminguet, Angelo Gabriel, Abakar Sylla, Moise Sahi Dion, and Lebo Mothiba are out of contention with injuries.
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).
