After an encouraging draw against Paris Saint-Germain before the international break (1-1), Lille
returns to its national games with a trip to Nantes, this Sunday, at the end of the 8th day of Ligue 1 (kick-off at 8:45 p.m.). Seventh in Ligue 1, LOSC enters this meeting as the favorite but Bruno Genesio has made no secret of the fact that he expects even more consistency in the weeks to come.
“ Whatever the schedule, the most important thing is to have series, explained the LOSC coach. Obviously, the start of the season is not as hoped. Over the first seven matches, we are missing at least three points, or even four, if we resume the matches against Lens and Lyon. For different reasons. Against Lyon, it's our responsibility. We had a very good match, but we lacked efficiency. We can legitimately think that… Now, the matches are lost.
» Despite the losses of Alexsandro (quadriceps), Ousmane Touré (knee), Nabil Bentaleb and Ngal'ayel Mukau, Lille will be revengeful. Stuck in the middle of the table, the Canaries, deprived of Johann Lepenant, hope to make a move. The stage is set.
The expected compositions
Nantes : Lopes – Amian, Awaziem, Mwanga, Cozza – Tabibou, Hong, Leroux – Lahdo, Mohamed, Abline.
Lille : Özer – Tiago Santos, Mbemba, Ngoy, Perraud – André, Bouaddi – Fernandez-Pardo, Haraldsson, Correia – Giroud.
Where to watch the match?
This match between FC Nantes and LOSC counting for the 8th day of Ligue 1 will be broadcast this Sunday on Ligue 1 +, from 8:45 p.m.
