Nantes vs Lille Prediction & Betting Tips (12 May)

Forced to fight for its maintenance for several years now, FC Nantes is still on the right track to try to save its skin in the elite. The Cité des Ducs de Bretagne club is in 14th place in the ranking and has a nice lead of 4 units over the Metz play-off at the start of this 33rd day. A victory would therefore allow Antoine Kombouaré's men to definitively validate their continuation. That said, the Canaries will have to recover after recent rather average results. Because since their victory snatched at Le Havre 0-1, they sank during the derby against Rennes 0-3 before stringing together 2 draws against Montpellier 1-1 and Brest 0-0 last weekend. Opposite, Lille doesn't really have to worry about his survival in the elite.

On the contrary, Losc only has eyes for a place on the podium which would allow it to secure a place in the Champions League next season. This will not be easy to win for the Dogues who are still one point behind Stade Brestois, 3rd in the standings. Too inconsistent in recent weeks, the Northerners were able to win against Strasbourg 1-0 and Metz 1-2. But they were dominated by Monaco 1-0 and by Lyon on Monday evening, even though they led a good part of the match 3-4.

Antoine Kombouaré still has to face a few defections for this poster. Indeed, the striker Ganago, the young defender Meupiyou, the replacement goalkeeper Descamps, the midfielder Douglas Augusto and the excellent Moses Simon (3 goals, 5 assists) must still withdraw at the moment. Otherwise, the other important attackers of this Nantes team will be available. We think of the Egyptian Mohamed (8 goals) and the playmaker Florent Mollet (4 goals, 4 assists). Also pay attention to the young Abline (4 goals) who is finishing this season well.

On the Losc side, the long-term injured Umtiti, Ilic and Miramon will not be traveling to Beaujoire, nor will captain André, also injured. Quickly released during the match against OL, Turkish international Yacizi also risks giving up this Sunday while winger Ounas should remain at the loft. At the forefront, Canadian striker Jonathan David is still the top scorer for this team with 17 goals to his name even if he remained silent last weekend. The formidable Kosovar Zhegrova (9 goals, 6 assists between L1 and C4 this season) is also on deck, as is the prolific defender Diakité (5 goals), author of a double against Les Gones on Monday evening.
