Nantes must find a win before it’s too late
Things can get worse for Les Canaris if they don’t find a way to win matches soon. They are just above the relegation zone with only three points away from 17th position Dijon.
Nantes haven’t tasted victory in 12 matches and with just two goals in five matches, coach Patrick Collot who was recently joined with Raymond Domenech the former French national team coach, must work hard on the team’s attacking tactics and goal-scoring deficiency.

Les Monegasques on the other hand are having a great season and with their last win against Marseille by 3-1, they are closer to challenge for a UEFA Champions League spot.
Monaco have shown great efficiency in goal scoring as they scored 16 goals in five matches averaging over three goals per match
