Nantes will travel to Lorient for their next Ligue 1 match, looking to boost their survival chances. As ninth-placed Lorient look to solidify their place in the top 10, 16th-placed Nantes hope to close in on safety. Let’s have a look at the match prediction.

Lorient have suffered at home in Nantes’ hands in this fixture. The last seven times they hosted this game, five ended in defeat. This particular one, though, finds Lorient in good shape, having gone unbeaten in 10 matches and winning six.

Across their last five matches, Lorient have comfortably beaten Rennes, Monaco, and Lyon. Such wins position them as a strong unit, and Les Merlus will be positive about Nantes’ visit.

Nantes are hoping to extend their form in this encounter, but their recent form directs otherwise. Les Canaris are coming off two straight defeats in the league, and before then they had been eliminated from the French Cup.

This one finds them sitting in the relegation playoff position but only with a two-point buffer from Auxerre in 17th. A 4-1 defeat at home to Nice last time out left them six points off safety.

Ahmed Kantari’s men’s nerves would settle a bit with three points from this encounter. However, five times in their last six league matches, Nantes suffered defeat. Their only win in that period was, surprisingly, against Marseille.
