Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Nantes will be aiming to escape the danger zone when they face Auxerre on the penultimate day of the season. Les Canaris failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Angers at the weekend and, as a result, their top flight status seems to be in danger. Forward Marcus Coco serves the last of his four-game ban, while midfielder Douglas Augusto is back from suspension.
The hosts, on the other hand, have suffered a dip in form, with the team losing three of their last four league matches. Auxerre, though, have nothing to play for in Saturday’s clash, which is probably the main reason why we are going to place our bets on the relegation-threatened visitors. Both Lasso Coulibaly and Nathan Buayi-Kiala are sidelined with injuries for the home side, while Ki-Jana Hoever is pushing for a recall to the starting XI.
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).
