Prediction: 2-0
Montpellier
After failing to win the previous five league matches, Nantes will look to return to winning ways in the Ligue 1 when they face Montpellier on the last day of the season. Les Canaris are desperate to avoid relegation and they are only one point away from meeting the goal. Anyhow, Nantes want to finish the season in style and we predict that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s clash. The hosts are boosted by Nicolas Cozza’s return from suspension.
La Paillade, on the other hand, are having a season to forget, with the team collecting only 16 points in total in the process. As the rock-bottom side have nothing to play for in the last game of the season, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. To make things even worse for the away team, their injury list remains pretty long, including the likes of Gueguin, Issoufou, Jullien, Maksimovic, Pays, Sagnan, Sylla, and Sainte-Luce.
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).
