H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results
Nantes Team Overview
🟡 Nantes are among the league's least prolific sides, having scored just 5 goals, averaging 0.7 goals per match. However, their defense holds up quite well, conceding only seven goals, a top-tier statistic comparable to the current league leaders.
🟢 In their last three fixtures, Nantes have drawn each match, sharing the spoils with Rennes (2-2), Toulouse (2-2), and Brest (0-0). Despite remaining unbeaten in these encounters, Luis Castro's team hasn't significantly improved their standing. Currently, the Canaries sit in 15th place, perilously close to the relegation zone.

Lille Team Overview
🔵 Lille were once leading the league, boasting an impressive goal-scoring record and even being regarded as the most prolific team. However, Bruno Génésio's side have seen their fortunes decline in recent rounds: their former attacking prowess has vanished, along with their winning results. As a consequence, the "Dogues" have slipped to seventh place in the standings.
🔴 Lille have failed to secure a win in their last three league matches. They suffered two consecutive losses and then drew 1-1 with Paris Saint-Germain in their most recent outing. Meanwhile, Lille are competing in the Europa League, where they have claimed two victories in the opening rounds, establishing themselves among the frontrunners. Perhaps these European triumphs will restore the team's former confidence.

Latest news
Nantes
❌ Midfielder Yoann Le Penant will be unavailable for his team's upcoming match against Lille due to a recent leg injury. This setback already caused him to miss one round in the French league. To recap, Le Penant sustained the injury during the game against Toulouse and was substituted in the 83rd minute.
Lille
❌ The Congolese midfielder Ngalayel Mukau will miss the upcoming match as he is undergoing evaluation after sustaining a minor injury during the international break. He participated in his national team's qualifying matches and picked up the injury.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
The referee for the upcoming match is Thomas Leonard. Over his last 100 games, he averages 3.61 yellow cards per match, with an average of 24 fouls. In the last seven Ligue 1 matches, the yellow card stats are as follows: Nantes average 1.4 per game, while Lille average 2.1. Both teams commit relatively few fouls, and the referee tends to show fewer cautions, so we're backing total yellow cards under 4.5.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Although Lille's average individual total remains decent at two goals per match, it has dropped significantly in recent rounds. Nantes have struggled offensively, scoring only five goals in the league. We anticipate a low-scoring encounter, so we're predicting total goals under 3.5.
🚩 Corner Prediction
The corner statistics heavily favor the visitors. Lille plays with width and often earns set pieces from the corners. On average, "Les Dogues" win 5.9 corners per game, while Nantes manage just 3.7. We suggest considering a bet on corner handicap (-1.5) for the visitors.
Editorial Prediction
Nantes are unbeaten in their last three matches but have yet to secure a win, making draws a familiar outcome for them. Lille also settled for a draw in their most recent outing. We believe this trend will continue, with both teams playing to a 1-1 stalemate. Lille's scoring form has dipped significantly of late, and Nantes haven't been prolific either, so we predict under 3 goals total.
