Match Preview

The Canaries welcome AS Saint-Etienne to the Stade de la Beaujoire on Saturday for this Ligue 1 match. Nantes need to match Lille’s result to hold onto ninth in the table here. The Greens need to better Metz’s result to avoid automatic relegation and instead have a relegation playoff against a Ligue 2 side.

FC Nantes come into the match on a run of three home league games undefeated. They have picked up eight points from a maximum of 18 from their last six Ligue 1 matches.

La Maison Jaune lost their last league match away to Olympique Lyonnais. Expected goals of 3.1 to 1.3 in favour of Lyon indicates perhaps it was a fair result. Nantes took far too long to get going this game and only seemed to come to life in the final ten minutes when already two goals down. The final score of the match was 3-2.

Randal Kolo Muani didn’t get on the scoresheet here but remains FC Nantes’s top scorer with twelve goals in Ligue 1 this season. He is the 6/1 favourite to open the scoring against AS Saint-Etienne on Saturday.

Their opponent on Saturday, AS Saint-Etienne, come into the match on a run of six away league games without a win. They have picked up four points from a maximum of 18 from their last six Ligue 1 matches.

The Greens lost their last league match at home to Stade Reims. Expected goals of 2.1 to 1.6 in favour of Reims indicates they were a little unfortunate to get nothing from the match. Les Verts will be getting extra finishing sessions this week. Romain Hamouma needs them more than most having missed a huge chance to tie up the game from just three yards. The final score of the match was 1-2.

Wahbi Khazriis AS Saint-Etienne’s top scorer with ten goals in Ligue 1 this season and is the 6.5/1 favourite of those in Green to score the final goal of the game against FC Nantes on Saturday.
