Nantes will be taking on visiting team Lyon at Stade de la Beaujoire in a Ligue 1 tie this coming Wednesday. Lyon won 3-2 and 1-0 in the two most recent meetings with Nantes, and go into their upcoming match with a psychological advantage.

Nantes go into their next Ligue 1 match, averaging a humble one goals per game in their last ten matches, in which they scored a mundane ten times, while conceding 13 goals. That amounts to an average of 1.3 per game, where they kept their opponents from scoring three times.

Nantes vs Lyon Prediction

Nantes Form

Nantes currently look solid, going undefeated in three matches, which started by drawing 2-2 against AC Ajaccio. They followed that up by sharing the spoils with Troyes in a 0-0 encounter, before beating Auxerre in a 1-0 encounter. In their last six Ligue 1 home matches, Nantes have two wins, while they've drawn three and lost one. They scored eight and conceded seven goals.

Aiming for a mid-table finish Nantes would require a quick upturn in form to achieve even that.

Lyon Form

Their past three matches saw Lyon beating Brest 2-4, losing 0-1 against Clermont Foot, and beating Metz by 2-1. In their last six away matches in the Ligue 1, Lyon won twice, while also recording zero draws. They endured four defeats in this run, with a scoreline from these matches saying ten goals conceded and nine scored.

Lyon had their target set on a podium finish as well as qualifying for Europe, and both are still within reach in the Ligue 1.
