Nantes Team News

Jocelyn Gourvennec is set to embark on his coaching tenure with Nantes this weekend amidst challenging circumstances. The team currently faces a four-match winless streak in the league and has encountered recent difficulties in scoring, failing to secure a goal in three of its last four outings.

Taking charge of a squad that has displayed vulnerability in its attacking performance, Gourvennec aims to turn the tide. Nantes has garnered nine out of their 15 points in Ligue 1 this season at the Stade de la Beaujoire, where they have impressively kept a clean sheet in the last three home games. However, despite their home successes, they have dropped valuable points by relinquishing leads in the second half on five occasions.

The team is hopeful for the return of Fabien Centonze, who is on the path to full recovery from a hamstring injury, and Quentin Merlin is nearing full fitness after dealing with a groin problem. On the downside, Ignatius Ganago is ruled out for the season due to an ACL injury.

In a positive development, Alban Lafont received support from his defensive line in the previous game against Le Havre, resulting in no saves needed after conceding eight goals in the three preceding matches. Looking back at last season’s encounters with Nice, Nantes twice came back from one-goal deficits in the 2-2 draw, with Moussa Sissoko and Mostafa Mohamed finding the net. Both players are anticipated to return to the starting lineup for the upcoming matches.

Nice Team News

Francesco Farioli’s debut season as Nice’s coach has been remarkably successful, with the team currently standing as one of three sides in Europe’s top five leagues that have yet to experience a home defeat this season. Nice boasts an impressive unbeaten streak of 16 consecutive games in the competition, the longest current run in Europe’s top leagues. Regardless of the venue, they have displayed consistency, remaining unbeaten in seven consecutive away league games.

Farioli, with a background as a goalkeeping coach, has seemingly instilled a strong defensive prowess in his team, securing eight consecutive clean sheets and conceding only four goals in the competition thus far. However, they will be without Youcef Atal, serving a suspension due to anti-Semitic posts related to the Israel-Hamas war, and Jean-Clair Todibo, who is dealing with physical discomfort.

Terem Moffi’s recent performance saw him scoring his fourth goal of the season in the victory against Toulouse, contributing to Nice’s success. Marcin Bulka, with three saved shots, leads the league with an impressive 10 clean sheets. Moffi had a notable impact in their previous visit to the Stade de la Beaujoire, scoring early and assisting Youssouf Ndayishimiye’s second goal.
