ℹ️ Team News: Nantes

Kelvin Amian (Pubalgia), Fabien Centonze (Cruciate ligament tear) and Bahmed Deuff (Back injury) are not available for Nantes gaffer Ahmed Kantari. Suspended players who are serving a ban for this game are Tylel Tati and Fabien Centonze.

In our view, Les Canaris could employ a 4-1-4-1 system in the match featuring Anthony Lopes, Frederic Guilbert, Ali Yousef Musrati, Nicolas Cozza, Deiver Machado, Francis Coquelin, Dehmaine Tabibou, Ibrahima Sissoko, Johann Lepenant, Mostafa Mohamed and Ignatius Ganago.

🗞️ Team News: Brest

Brest manager Éric Roy has not got a full squad to pick from. Mama Baldé (Dead leg) and Kamory Doumbia (Adductor pain) will not be playing here. Junior Diaz is ineligible for this match because of suspension.

It’s our belief that Les Ty' Zefs might elect for a 4-2-3-1 formation, giving starts to Gregoire Coudert, Luck Zogbe, Brendan Chardonnet, Soumaila Coulibaly, Daouda Guindo, Joris Chotard, Hugo Magnetti, Romain Del Castillo, Eric Ebimbe, Remy Lascary and Ludovic Ajorque.

🔮 Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that Brest will have to play well to breach the defence of this Nantes lineup who will likely manage to score & go ahead.

Therefore, we predict a very competitive game with a 1-0 win for Nantes at the end of this game.

Will be interesting to see how this one goes.
