Match preview
It’s 19th vs 20th at The Stade de la Beaujoire this weekend, as Ligue 1′s bottom two sides prepare to go head to head in a potentially crucial encounter.
Hosts Nantes boast the advantage when it comes to points secured at present, albeit only by one.
This comes with Les Canaris, like their upcoming opponents, in the midst of a campaign to forget.
After impressing en route to a 9th-placed finish in France’s top-flight in 2021/22, Nantes have since slipped off the pace in alarming fashion, en route to just a solitary victory from ten attempts to date.
Further evidence of such woes comes by way of a quick look back at Les jaunes et verts’ last six outings across competitions, which, alarmingly, have given rise to just a solitary goal.
Safe to say, then, that, fresh off successive drubbings at the hands of Stade Rennais and SC Freiburg, Nantes would be viewed as underdogs heading into almost any other fixture in Ligue 1 this weekend.

And yet, Kombouaré and co. may well fancy their chances of finally getting things back on track on Sunday evening.
This comes with Stade Brestois the only side sitting below Nantes in France’s top tier.
After too battling to a commendable mid-table finish last time out, Brest have since gone on to piece together just six points from their ten fixtures this time round.
Six defeats and only a solitary victory have culminated in Les Pirates being widely labelled as early-season relegation favourites, with three defeats from the club’s last four having proven the breaking point for head coach Michel Der Zakarian, relieved of his duties earlier in the week.
With Der Zakarian’s replacement yet to be confirmed, we at 101, in turn, envision the spoils being shared come the full-time whistle in France’s northwest on Sunday, a result which, in truth, would do little for either side’s survival hopes.
