Lille, Recent FormLille were forced to settle for a share of the points in their last league match, which wound up a 1-1 draw against Nice. During that encounter they had 60% possession and had 12 attempts on goal with 5 on target, while their opponents hit 3 of their 8 shots on goal.
It seems pretty certain that Paulo Fonseca will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 6 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 5 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games.
They've had a good run of home form recently, with 5 straight wins in a row and are on an unbeaten run of 16 games.
When it comes to home matches at The Decathlon Arena, Jonathan David will be feeling confident about finding the net again, with 7 league goals for Lille in their last 6 home games.
Nantes, Recent FormNantes won't feel too deflated by the 2-1 home defeat to Toulouse, given that their opponents sit a full 14 places above them in the league table. They achieved 43% possession in that match and had 9 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Toulouse's tally of 9 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
Having conceded 9 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 4 points. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 7 games.
It was no surpirise that the last time these two teams met Lille came out on top, winning the match 2-1.
Lille will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against Les Canaris, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 13 meetings between the two.
It's been a long time since Lille have lost this fixture, having picked up points against Nantes in 15 league games in a row.
Jonathan David will be feeling confident of netting goals for Lille in this one against Nantes with his scoring record of 4 goals in their last 5 meetings in the league.
Lille manager Paulo Fonseca has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Tiago Djaló (Cruciate ligament), Adam Ounas (Thigh) and Samuel Umtiti (Back) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Fabien Centonze (Hamstring) and Ignatius Ganago (Unknown) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Pierre Aristouy will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
