Seeking to make it two wins from their opening two games of the 2022-23 Ligue 1 campaign, LOSC Lille visit the Stade de la Beaujoire to face Nantes on Friday.
The home side head into the weekend on a three-game winless run across all competitions and will be looking to end this dry spell.
Nantes were denied a dream start to their 2022-23 Ligue 1 campaign as they were held to a goalless draw by Angers last Sunday.
This followed a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain in the French Super Cup final on July 31.
Nantes have now failed to win any of their last three games in all competitions, picking up one draw and losing twice since July’s 2-1 friendly win over Lorient.
LOSC Lille, on the other hand, kicked off their domestic campaign with a bang as they brushed aside newly-promoted AJ Auxerre 4-1 last time out.
This followed a solid pre-season run where they picked up two wins and one draw from their four friendlies.
Lille head into the weekend winless in all but one of their last four away games in the league — losing twice and claiming one draw — and will be looking to end this dry spell.
