Betting on Football Club de Nantes
The team is motivated to be in the final of the French Cup (where it will face Toulouse). However, to achieve this, it has neglected the league where it has been struggling and has gone 8 games without a win, leaving it just a few points away from relegation.
They had to divide its squad between the Europa League, where it was eliminated by Juventus in the round of 16. It’s now very difficult for this team to secure a spot in European competitions, but if it wins the Cup (a trophy it is defending as the current champions), it will qualify for the Europa League.
The problem is that if it gets relegated, it won’t be able to play in Europe even if it wins the Cup. Therefore, it’s imperative for it to get points to focus on the final and defend its championship. Last game, it lost 2-1 against Auxerre in a match it dominated but failed to score. This has been a constant concern for the canaries in its recent games.
Possible Lineup (4-1-4-1): Alban Lafont; Joao Victor, Jean Charles Castelletto, Nicolas Pallois, Jaouen Hadjam; Andrei Girotto; Ludovic Blas, Moussa Sissoko, Samuel Moutossamy, Moses Simon; Mostafa Mohamed
Betting on E.S. Troyes A.C.
The ESTAC team is in a tough spot to avoid relegation, as it is 10 points away from safety. However, there are still several games left, and a strong comeback could save it.
It has lost three consecutive games and is slowly drifting away from the teams it could catch up with. We mentioned three consecutive losses, but it has actually gone 14 games without a win. The last time this team won was in matchday 17 against Strasbourg, with a score of 2-3. At that point, it was in the mid-standings, but now it has dramatically fallen under Patrick Kisnorbo’s leadership.
In the last game, Marseille beat it 3-1, and it has only scored one goal in three games. It’s difficult to imagine this team staying in the top division under these circumstances.
Possible Lineup (3-4-2-1): Gauthier Gallon; Erik Palmer Brown, Adil Rami, Yoann Salmier; Thierno Baldé, Rominigue Kouamé, Lucien Agoumé, Yasser Larouci; Rony Lopes, Wilson Odobert; Mama Baldé
JefeBet Prediction
Troyes is falling apart quite dramatically, not to mention it is one of the worst away teams in the league, with only three victories in 16 played matches. Given Nantes’ current form and its need to win, we believe it will come out on top in its home stadium, where it hasn’t performed well either with only four victories in 15 matches played. However, it has a stronger team and is highly motivated compared to the ESTAC. In other words, Nantes has a better chance of winning this game.
