Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Stade de la Beaujoire will host Saturday’s football game between Nantes and Brest, the two top-table sides. Les Canaris have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team sharing the spoils with Le Havre, beating Nice, while losing to Nantes. Defender Jean-Kevin Duverne is banned for the match, while all Pedro Chirivella, Bastien Meupiyou, Ignatius Ganago, and Fabien Centonze remain in the recovery room.
Les Pirates, on the other hand, have been in a fine form of late, with the team beating all Montpellier, Clermont, and Metz, while sharing the spoils with Strasbourg. Brest are eyeing their third consecutive win on the road, but beating Nantes on the road is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Both Achraf Dari and Jordan Amavi are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team.
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).
