Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Nantes and Reims face each other at Stade de la Beaujoire in what is expected to be a close Ligue 1 encounter. Les Canaris aim to recover from a 4-0 loss to Nantes, with the team eyeing their third consecutive win at home ground. Both Bamba and Mostafa Mohamed are pushing for a start, while midfielder Florent Mollet misses out through suspension. Douglas Augusto and Fabien Centonze remain in the recovery room.
Les Rouges et Blancs, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Lorient. Reims are undefeated in the previous four away games in the national championship and seeing that Nantes are tough to beat at home, the share of spoils is on the horizon. All Atangana Edoa, Azor Matusiwa, and Keito Nakamura are out of contention with injuries, speaking of 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).
