Prediction: 1-2
Nantes
Angers have made a slow start to the season, with their defensive struggles being a major concern. As they host Nantes, the home side will need to improve at the back if they are to avoid another disappointing result. Injuries to Joseph Lopy and Justin-Noel Kalumba further weaken their squad, making the task even more difficult.
Nantes, meanwhile, head into the game with confidence following a solid 1-0 win over Montpellier in their last away outing. With no fresh injury concerns, they will be looking to take advantage of Angers’ shaky defence and continue their upward momentum. Given Angers' form and defensive issues, Nantes are well-positioned to pick up all three points. Expect the visitors to control the game and exploit the gaps in Angers’ backline. You should bear in mind that Nantes defeated Angers 1-0 in their last meeting in the French top flight.
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).
