Nantes will host Strasbourg at the Stade de la Beaujoire on Saturday in another round of the 2023-24 Ligue 1 campaign.
The home side have endured a highly underwhelming campaign and currently find themselves fighting for survival in Ligue 1. They were beaten 2-0 by recently rejuvenated Olympique Marseille in their last match and could have no major complaints about the result after managing just one shot on target in the opposition box throughout the match.
Nantes sit 16th in the league table with just 25 points from 25 games. They are one point behind their weekend opponents and will leapfrog them with maximum points on Saturday.
Strasbourg have not fared much better than their opponents this season and currently find themselves just outside the drop zone. They were beaten 1-0 by Monaco last time out, holding on to the sole point before their opponents scored a deserved winner in the final 20 minutes of the game.

Strasbourg are without a win in their last six games across all competitions, with five of those games ending in defeat. They are winless in their last four away matches but should pick up a point against a fellow struggling side on Saturday.
