Nantes - Lille predictions

The hosts will have little to hope for in this match. The betting odds work against them and so does the overall impression. They are a weaker side here and it would be a proper upset if they manage to beat Lille.

Even with the home-field advantage as a factor, Lille have a better chance of winning this clash than their opponents. They can’t afford to relax just yet though – the hosts may prove a tough nut to crack after all.

Nantes’s previous performance against Brest brought a 0:0 stalemate which lasted throughout the runtime. All things considered, though, this can be counted as a bit of a success for them. After all, they were in an away game against a greatly favoured team.

Whatever went wrong for Lille in the last round against Olympique Lyonnais, it’s clear it happened after the 45-minute mark. They were leading on their home field in a fairly favourable matchup, yet they fumbled it and lost the match 3:4.

Nantes’s fans are rather disappointed with what they’ve seen from their defence in recent home games. The previous three matches saw them concede 9 times, which is not a great look.

The visitors’ main concern will be cutting down the concession rate. They conceded more than 5 times in their latest 3 matches, and bucking the trend will be a great step in the right direction.

It’s clear that Lille are the favourites in this matchup, and they have the numbers to back that up. They faced Nantes earlier this season and snagged a decisive victory which they’ll be looking to repeat.

Though the visitors are favourites here, it’s important to note they’ll be playing without Benjamin André, Samuel Umtiti, Juan Ignacio Miramon due to injury. On the flip side, the hosts will also be several players short – namely, Rémy Descamps, Moses Simon, Douglas Augusto, Bastien Meupiyou Menadjou have also reported injuries.

An Away Win is the strongest wager you can make on this match, especially at the odds of 1.99 at 1xbet. It’s a nice balance between betting value and a decent probability of success.
