Game: NANTES vs LORIENT
Type: FRENCH LIGUE 1
Date: 14 March, 2009
PREVIEW
Alarm bells are ringing at Nantes as a five match winless run has seen them plummeting to 16th position, just 3pts above the drop zone. With a scoring average of 1.07 goals at home, its hard to see how they are able get wins where needed. This fact is also compounded especially if they concede an average of 1.36 goals at home.
Visitors Lorient are no better. At the start of year, they were playing like a team ready to provide a genuine challenge for a finish in the European places. But they have slipped off the pace dramatically and are 9 games without a win. Worse still is the fact that they have not managed to find the back of the net in their last 3 matches, and are only two points above Nantes going into this weekend.
KWIK STATS
HOME > NANTES
AWAY > LORIENT
THE PICK
With tough upcoming fixtures against Marseille, Lille and Toulouse, NANTES is aware that anything short of a win tonight would spell big trouble for them if they want to remain in Ligue 1. Luckily with Lorient's abysmal form, the home team stands a better chance of edging them.
