Nantes form and stats

Nantes have collected 6 points from their Ligue 1 home games so far after 2-0-2.

Ahead of that match, Nantes won a home game hosting Brest (3-1).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Nantes have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 13 games) they have won eight times, drawn one and lost four.

Nantes are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 5 goals in 4 games. Nantes have conceded 4 in these home matches.
