Still licking their wounds from their UEFA Champions League exit, LOSC Lille visit the Stade de la Beaujoire to face Nantes on Saturday. Antoine Kombouare’s men have failed to win their last 19 games against the visitors since a 1-0 victory in September 2019 and will be looking to end this poor six-year spell.
Nantes were left empty-handed yet again as they suffered a 1-0 defeat at the hands of high-flying Strasbourg at the Stade de la Beaujoire last Sunday.
Kombouare’s men have lost all but one of their last five matches, with a 3-1 home victory over RC Lens on February 23 being the exception. Nantes have picked up 24 points from their 25 Ligue 1 matches so far to sit 14th in the standings, three points above the relegation playoff spot.

Elsewhere, Lille were dumped out of the Champions League as they fell to a 2-0 loss against Borussia Dortmund in the second leg of their round-of-16 clash in midweek to lose the tie 3-2 on aggregate.
Bruno Genesio’s side now turn their focus to Ligue 1, where they have won three of their last four games, scoring six goals and keeping two clean sheets in that time.
With 44 points from 25 matches, Lille are currently fifth in the league standings, level on points with fourth-placed AS Monaco in the Champions League playoff spot.
