Prediction: 2-1
Brest
Nantes and Brest take on each other at Stade de la Beaujoire in the opening match of Ligue 1 round 21. Les Canaris aim to build on a 2-1 win over Reims and a triumph over Brest will see them escape the danger zone. Defender Nicolas Pallois misses out through suspension, while all Ignatius Ganago, Douglas Augusto, Tino Kadewere, and Nathan Zeze remain in the recovery room.
Les Pirates, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 5-2 loss to league leaders PSG. As Brest have already suffered seven defeats on the road this term, we are tempted to bet on Nantes, who produced a fine display in their last home game against Lyon (1-1). Speaking of the away team, Mahdi Camara is banned for the match, while all Jonas Martin, Jordan Amavi, Karamoko Dembele, and Bradley Locko should miss out 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).
