Game: NANTES vs LILLE
Type: FRANCE LIGUE 1
Date: 4 April, 2009
PREVIEW
Nantes' slide down the table have been due to a mixture of bad luck and tough fixtures. Despite performing admirably against Marseille two weeks ago, they ended the match with a 0-2 loss. With only four losses out of 14 in total at home, it seems like Nantes are overdue for a home win as they have not won in their last 7.
The ascend of Lille to 5th place in the league standings reaffirms their push for next season's European spot. This was made sweeter after the win over Lyon in both the French Cup as well as the domestic league. Most of their points have come from home, winning 11 out of 15 to date. Away, though, is another matter as Lille have struggled to win 2 consecutive matches when travelling. Their current stats read 3W 7D 4L, which leans on the tendency to draw most of the time.
KWIK STATS
HOME > NANTES
AWAY > LILLE
THE PICK
NANTES looks capable of upsetting the form books to notch the much needed win at home. I'm banking on them to overcome Lille, who have yet to prove that they are capable of matching their strong home form when they travel.
