It is still too early to call, but Nantes facing Lorient in the 13th round of Ligue 1 already feels like a relegation six-pointer. Nantes, sitting 16th, plays host to 17th placed Lorient. Let’s have a look at the match prediction.
It is another season of struggles for Nantes, as they find themselves low in the Ligue 1 standings after 12 games. Les Canaris have managed just two wins in that run, and playing at home will not help by much.
They are the poorest-performing home team in Ligue 1, with just four points from six matches. A 1-1 draw with Le Havre before the international break wasn’t good enough to offer the liftoff needed. It was, however, some break after back-to-back defeats.
Lorient will want to take advantage of the fact that Nantes are the worst-performing host. However, their plate is also full. The newly promoted side ranks as the poorest traveler in Ligue 1, having banked just one point from six matches on the road.
They had an identical result as Nantes in the last match, drawing 1-1 with Toulouse. Actually, at this point of the season, these two sides are only separated by goal difference.
Lorient will, however, head into this match seeking a win to pull them out of the bottom three. The problem is that they are winless in the last six matches.

Our Nantes vs Lorient Prediction
From the early season exchanges, there are indications these two sides will be involved in the relegation battle. That’s why this is a really crucial match for both of these teams. Nantes have dominated previous head-to-head meetings, but back Lorient to carry their own weight well here too.
The visitors haven't done well on the road in Ligue 1, collecting just one point from a possible 18. So going for them to win might be a long shot here. On the other hand, Nantes have the poorest home record so far and could still fall short here. Our prediction for Nantes v Lorient is for a draw.
