Match Preview
The Ligue 1 season draws to an intense end as Lille and Nantes gear up for a closely-fought encounter. Lille sits at the fifth of the table, while Nantes languishes in the relegation zone with only 33 points from 36 games played. Lille goes into the match with high spirits, given their recent form in the last five games, winning two matches and drawing twice, scoring a total of 6 goals while conceding only 3. In contrast, Nantes has struggled throughout the season, earning only one point out of a possible 15 in the last five games.

The home team, Lille, boasts of a solid defence that has only conceded 42 goals this season. Led by Portuguese veteran and club captain, Jose Fonte,  Lille's defence presents a difficult task for Nantes' attacking players. Nantes' lackluster form in front of goal does not inspire much confidence for fans and punters alike. Nantes' top scorer, Mostafa Mohamed Ahmed Abdalla, has not scored in his last five games, with his last goal coming in April. This lack of goals for Nantes in recent games coupled with Lille's impressive defence makes it hard to see how Nantes will score many goals against their hosts.

Goaloo18 Prediction
Lille comes into the game as the heavy favorites, and rightfully so. They possess a potent attacking line-up, with Jonathan David leading the way with 22 goals.  Lille's attacking prowess coupled with their resolute defence makes them hard to beat, and Nantes will need to bring their A-game if they wish to come away with anything from the match.
