Nantes take on the visitors Caen in round 17 match of French Ligue 1. The game will be played on Wednesday, January 18th at Stade de la Beaujoire (Nantes).
Nantes greatly improved their results after appointment of new head coach. The team play solid football and started create chances and convert them to goals, while they had big troubles with it until recently. Nice results in December allowed the team to move up to 14th place in the standings with 22 points gained in 19 matches. The team still need to improve their results at own turf as they have gained only nine points in nine matches with two wins, three draws and four defeats with four goals score and 13 allowed.

Caen have been showing more consistent results this season, comparing to Nantes, but couldn’t battle for more than a place in bottom half of the standings. The visiting side is currently on 15th place in the league, right behind the hosts, with 21 points gained in 19 matches. While Nantes have the worst home record, Caen have the worst away record in the league with eight defeats and one draw recorded in nine matches on the road in Ligue 1, scoring six and allowing three times more goals in these games.
First teams of Nantes and Caen are of about the same level but recent successful results of the hosts since arrival of Sergio Conceicao and awful away results of Caen in matches on the road suggest that the hosts are ready to take their third home win of the season after recent triumph in clash with Montpellier.
Prediction for the match: Nantes to win.
