Nantes - Lille predictions

It’s hard to see even the most ardent of Nantes fans expect a victory here. As clear underdogs, even a draw against Lille would be quite impressive, let alone an upset in the form of a home win.

Though Lille are the stronger team between the two, we wouldn’t call an away bet at the odds of 1.85 a safe one. It’s shaping up to be quite an exciting match.

It’s fair to say Nantes demonstrated their character in the last Ligue 1 clash. They held it level at the break and after the full 90 minutes against a tough rival and managed to record an important draw (Brest).

Lille’s previous round was a home match against Paris Saint Germain which ended in a draw. The scores were equal at half-time as well, which was quite surprising given the 4.27 odds on a home win.

Nantes have been showing a rather mediocre form lately with 3 consecutive draws.

Based on their recent performance, Lille’s largest issue seems to be defence, especially in away games. With 6 conceded goals in their 3 previous visiting matches, Over 3.5 Goals markets seem like a solid betting option.

The hosts are off to a shaky start this season. Placing 16th in the standings is nothing to write home about, though it’s way too early to panic. That said, their odds of earning even a single point this Sunday are not looking great.

We can look forward to an exciting game as both teams have their full lineups available, thanks to no suspensions or injuries.

Your best bet in this scenario is to go for a high-risk, high-reward bet. Namely, we suggest a Draw/Away wager in the Half Time/Full Time market. It’s definitely not a safe bet, but the 4.37 odds make up for it in sheer betting value.
