We are zooming in on Nantes and Lille, as the duo face each other at Stade de la Beaujoire on Friday in what surely will be an exciting Ligue 1 clash. Lille celebrated a 0-1 win in their most recent meeting with their upcoming opponent.

Nantes were gunning for the three points, but eventually had to settle for a point in the season premiere in the Ligue 1. They'll be eager to get off the mark. Lille arrive at Stade de la Beaujoire with three points to their name after opening the new Ligue 1 campaign with a solid win.

Nantes vs Lille Prediction

Nantes have been too mediocre in their last three matches, where a win has failed to come their way. Against Saint-Etienne, they gained a point in a 1-1 draw, before coming up short against PSG, who ran out 4-0 winners. Lately, they managed to steal a point in a 0-0 draw with Angers. Nantes claimed a middle-of-the-road three wins in their previous six matches on home soil in the Ligue 1. They also drew two and lost one, as they scored 11 and conceded seven goals.

In a season where everything runs absolutely smoothly Nantes might be able to surprise. However, a finish inside the top half of the Ligue 1 looks the most realistic scenario.

Lille look in good shape before their upcoming match as they seek to remain unbeaten. In their last three matches, they first beat Nice by 1-3, before drawing 2-2 with Rennes. They were back as winners last time out, when they took out Auxerre by a 4-1 scoreline. Lille managed a decent return of three wins in their last six Ligue 1 away matches, in which they scored seven while also conceding seven times. They also experienced one draw and two defeats.

Lille go into the season with the clear aim of a top half finish, perhaps even contesting for a place in a European competition.

The two teams rate more or less equal at the bookies, but in current form, and with Nantes looking a little out of sorts, Lille no doubt offers the value bet here.
