Prediction: 1-0
Nantes
Dijon will be aiming to build on a 2-1 win over Montpellier when they take on Nantes at Stade Gaston-Gerard on Saturday evening. Against all odds, the Mustards defeated La Paillade on the road in the opening match of the season, which certainly gave them a confidence boost. Dijon do not want to stop now and seeing that they were impressive at home ground in the 2017/2018 Ligue 1 campaign, we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Saturday’s football match against Nantes. Les Canaris experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-1 loss to Monaco and, taking everything into account, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed. In their last meeting at Stade Gaston-Gerard Dijon recorded a 1-0 win over Nantes, with Julio Tavares scoring the only goal of the match.

Highlighted Team (Nantes):
Founded on April 21, 1943 Nantes are 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).
