Nantes take on the visitors Strasbourg at “La Beaujoire-Louis Fonteneau” in the last round of this season’s Ligue 1. The game will be played in Nantes on Saturday, May 19th.
At the start of the season Nantes had shown rather convincing football under the rule of Claudio Ranieri, but the club slowed down after the first lap and didn’t manage to qualify to the Eurocups for the next season. The team is currently settling on the 10th position in the Ligue 1 standings, having picked up 49 points in 37 encounters conducted. The side’s offense has disappointed greatly as Nantes’ opponents easily coped with its attacks which caused only 35 scored goals. Although the club’s defense looked a bit stronger, still, it also made many mistakes which resulted in 41 goals conceded. In the previous home tackles “Les Canaris” have lost to Montpellier 0:2 plus deserved two draws against Rennes and Dijon with the same 1:1 scoreline.

In their turn, Strasbourg look poor in this season, but to the great joy of its supporters the team has managed to secure the place in the elite division for the next season, having fulfilled its main task for this season. At the moment “Le Racing” occupies the 16th position in the Ligue 1 table with 38 points collected after 37 matchdays behind. The club’s offense produces unconvincing performance, having scored just 44 goals so far, however, its defense is doing much worse with 66 goals conceded. In the latest fights conducted on the road Strasbourg have failed against Rennes 1:2 and Amiens 1:3, but earned 1:1 draw against Angers.
The home winning streak of Nantes over Strasbourg has been counting for three head-to-heads already. Both rivals have already reached their targets in this season, thus, the home-field factor should become the incentive which will force “Les Canaris” to attack.
Prediction for the match: Nantes to win.
