Nantes vs Strasbourg Prediction
Nantes remain under the management of Antoine Kombouare as they hover just above the bottom three and the danger zone. They have pulled off a couple of results of late but do come into this one on the back of a 2-0 loss away to Olympique de Marseille at Stade Velodrome last weekend. They now face a Strasbourg side that, coached by former Hull City boss Liam Rosenior, are chasing a top seven finish in Ligue 1 and potential European qualification with their most recent outing being a 1-0 win over Auxerre last weekend, meaning they have now suffered just one defeat in their last 11 matches in the French top-flight. Siding with Strasbourg, given that form, appears the way to go for this one.
