FC Nantes at LOSC Lille 11/27/21 - Ligue 1 Picks & Predictions

These two teams are sitting just 1 point apart in the French Ligue 1 standings, and they will both look to return to winning ways after unsuccessful results last week. Lille will now return home for their next assignment, where they will play host to Nantes. Nantes are on a three-match win-less streak while Lille are coming off a big win in the Champions League.

Lille (4-5-5) are coming off a very important win in the Champions League mid-week, where they beat Salzburg by 1-0 at home and kept their hopes alive. Last week they took a two-goal lead in their away match against Monaco but eventually settled for the 2-2 draw. They are now unbeaten in their last 4 matches in all competitions (2-0-2). Lille are now sitting at the 12th spot of the Ligue 1 with 17 points, scoring 18 goals and conceding 21 in the process. They have been really hard to beat at home so far (3-1-2), scoring 8 and conceding 8 goals. They also have 1 win and 2 draws in their 3 home matches in the Champions League so far, so they have been quite solid on home ground this season.

Nantes (5-6-3) looked the mighty PSG in the eye last week, where they did temporarily pull even at the 76th minute but then conceded 2 late goals to eventually lose by 3-1. They are now win-less in their last 3 and have won just 1 of their last 5 (1-2-2). Nantes are sitting at the 11th spot of the league table with 18 points, scoring 19 goals and conceding 19 in the process. They have only won 1 of their 7 away matches this season (1-4-2), scoring 8 and conceding 12 goals so far. They have not kept a single clean sheet on the road, but they have scored at least once in 5 of their 7 away matches.
