Lille-Nantes is a Ligue 1 Week 16 match and is played Saturday at 7pm: stats, live TV, likely lineups, prediction.
Bruno Genesio’s Lille, momentarily fourth in the standings behind PSG, Marseille and Monaco, closed out 2024 on a crescendo. The Dogues have not always shone in terms of continuity but they have not lost a game even since last September 17: three months of unbeaten streak considering all competitions (league, Champions League and French Cup) that certify the good work of the former Rennes coach.
In their last outing before the Christmas break, David and his teammates had won by a narrow margin over Rouen, a team that plays in National 1 (the third league of French soccer, equivalent to our Serie C), passing the round of the national cup. A few days earlier, however, they had managed to snatch a point at the Velodrome against Roberto De Zerbi’s Marseille in their direct clash (1-1). The gap vis-à-vis the direct competitors for a place in the top four – Lille does not seem to be equipped to challenge PSG’s supremacy – remains minimal: the pair formed by Marseille and Monaco (the Monegasques have played an extra match) at this moment is +3 from Genesio’s men. The 2025 of the club from northern France begins with a challenge, on paper not very complicated, with Nantes. The yellow-greens float above the red zone and after 15 days they have only one point more than the third-last: since August they have barely scored a victory (1-0 at Rennes), reaping seven defeats. Especially heavy was the one they cashed in last Dec. 15 at Brest (4-1) and partially redeemed in the 4-0 thrashing a few days later in the French Cup at lowly Drancy.
