Match preview
Itβs 19th vs 20th at The Stade de la Beaujoire this weekend, as Ligue 1β²s bottom two sides prepare to go head to head in a potentially crucial encounter.
Hosts Nantes boast the advantage when it comes to points secured at present, albeit only by one.
This comes with Les Canaris, like their upcoming opponents, in the midst of a campaign to forget.
After impressing en route to a 9th-placed finish in Franceβs top-flight in 2021/22, Nantes have since slipped off the pace in alarming fashion, en route to just a solitary victory from ten attempts to date.
Further evidence of such woes comes by way of a quick look back at Les jaunes et vertsβ last six outings across competitions, which, alarmingly, have given rise to just a solitary goal.
Safe to say, then, that, fresh off successive drubbings at the hands of Stade Rennais and SC Freiburg, Nantes would be viewed as underdogs heading into almost any other fixture in Ligue 1 this weekend.

And yet, KombouarΓ© and co. may well fancy their chances of finally getting things back on track on Sunday evening.
This comes with Stade Brestois the only side sitting below Nantes in Franceβs top tier.
After too battling to a commendable mid-table finish last time out, Brest have since gone on to piece together just six points from their ten fixtures this time round.
Six defeats and only a solitary victory have culminated in Les Pirates being widely labelled as early-season relegation favourites, with three defeats from the clubβs last four having proven the breaking point for head coach Michel Der Zakarian, relieved of his duties earlier in the week.
With Der Zakarianβs replacement yet to be confirmed, we at 101, in turn, envision the spoils being shared come the full-time whistle in Franceβs northwest on Sunday, a result which, in truth, would do little for either sideβs survival hopes.
