Nantes play very good this season and they have a chance to reach the place which leads in some of the European competition next season. Their recent performance is not at the high level. In the last 5 matches in all competitions they have managed to win only one match. They know that home side are favorites to win this game, but they could be very dangerous from the counter-attacks and will do their best in order to avoid defeat tonight. In the first part of the season match between Nantes vs Lyon was finished without goals and they hope that can take one point again. But, their performance at the Grand Stade in Lyon is very poor. They didn’t beat Lyon in 21st century as visitors.
Lyon vs Nantes injuries and suspensions
Home side miss Fofana (0/0 m), Valbuena (21/1 m) and Fekir (4/4 m), but the good news are that two important defenders Jallet (19/1 d) and Yanga-Mbiwa (19/0 d) are both back in the squad after suspension. On the other side, visitors will be without Cana (18/0 d), Lenjani (14/1 m) and Rongier (10/1 m), while Djidji (17/0 d) and Adryan (20/3 f) are both doubtful.

Lyon vs Nantes Prediction
Home side are in the very good form and they will be fully motivated to win this game. Visitors have very good squad, but Lyon are better side and I expect their win.
