Nantes, led by Antoine Kombouaré, have been unbeaten in their last 16 league matches, with a record of 0-1 against Brest. They have managed 28% possession and 9 attempts on goal, with one on target. Their average number of goals per match is 0.83. Nantes’ recent poor run includes not beaten Lille in their last 16 league matches and not winning at home in their last 8 league matches.

Lille will aim to make amends after a loss against Lyon in Ligue 1 action. In that game, Lille managed 44% possession and 8 shots on goal, with goals scored by Bafodé Diakité and Edon Zhegrova. Lyon had 11 shots at goal with 7 on target. Lille has been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, with opposing sides hitting 9 goals in all. They have not lost to Nantes in their previous 14 league games, but have been solid on their travels.

Nantes manager Antoine Kombouaré is unable to use Moses Simon, Ignatius Ganago, and Bastien Meupiyou due to injuries, and Pedro Chirivella is suspended. Les Canaris could use a 4-4-2 system with Steve Mandanda, Alidu Seidu, Christopher Wooh, and others.

Lille boss Paulo Fonseca faces a fitness issue with Samuel Umtiti out due to knee surgery. LOSC may start with a 3-4-3 formation, featuring Brice Samba, Ruben Aguilar, Jonathan Gradit, Facundo Medina, P. Frankowski, Nampalys Mendy, Angelo Fulgini, Deiver Machado, Florian Sotoca, Wesley Saïd, and David Costa.
