Nantes take on the visitors Qarabag in the round 5 match of UEFA Europa League group stage. The match will be played on Thursday, October 27th at Stade de la Beaujoire (Nantes).
Nantes have the status of an 8-time national champion. But the latest successes were still at the turn of the century. Last season, the "canaries" were able to recall their glory as a "cup" team. They managed to win the trophy, and thanks to this they were able to return to the European Cup. True, in that Ligue 1 cycle, Antoine Comboiret's wards could only climb to 9th place - and now they are even lower. In general, it was not in vain that the French, despite their fame and status, did not expect anything particularly outstanding in the international arena. And 2-1 against the experienced Olympiacos, even at home, in the 1st round, was rather a pleasant surprise. But then the team and its fans were returned to Earth. It was 0-3 in Baku, after which Nantes, continuing not to score, lost in both matches to Freiburg. Most likely, now the task is to keep the 3rd place in this group - this was enough to continue the fight in European competition, albeit in the Conference League format.

Qarabag, after an unexpected misfire in the season before last, was able to restore the status of an unconditional dominator in Azerbaijani football. In the summer qualification of the Champions League, the wards of Gurban Gurbanov did not have enough for the overall success. They got to the decisive round, but there, after 0-0 at home, the "steeds" lost in Pilsen, although they opened the score there too - "Victoria" answered with a couple of their goals after the break. Having fallen into the Europa League, there the representative of Transcaucasia lost first 1-2 in Germany, but then showed his class. At first, Nantes was defeated at home with a score of 3-0. And then there was a rather successful matches with the stellar and ambitious Olympiacos - suffice it to say that in the summer Marcelo and James Rodriguez, among others, became newcomers in Piraeus! But all this did not stop Qarabag from winning 3-0 already on the road. After that, a goalless draw at home is already considered as almost a misfire. However, one more step towards reaching the playoffs has been made.
On September 15, "Nantes" came to Baku for the first time. Then everything ended 3-0 in favor of Qarabag. The bookies consider opponents as almost equal. Taking into account the fact that the clubs give out opposite this season, we recommend betting that visitors from Azerbaijan will win this match, but with a “zero” handicap.
Prediction for the match: Qarabag to win with 0.0 handicap.
