Nantes are looking to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Rennes when they host Olympique Lyonnais in the fourth round of matches in Ligue 1. The hosts are on four points, in ninth place and Lyon have so far managed two points and are placed 16th. Nantes have struggled in matches against Lyon but in Lyon’s form, this can be a good chance for the hosts to get a first win in four meetings. Their only win in the opening three matches in Ligue 1 this season is their fifth in the last eight matches in the league. They’ve only failed to score once in their last five league matches and at home, they have two wins in three league games. Four of their last five home league matches have produced over 2.5 goals and both teams have scored in seven of the last 10 Ligue 1 games at home. Nantes have conceded twice in six of their last 10 home matches in Ligue 1.

Lyon are going through tough moments, still seeking their first win of the season and they go to this game winless in the last six games. They have no clean sheet in seven matches, and have managed just one in 10. In their last match, they couldn’t manage things well, scoring an own goal and going on to let a 3-1 lead slip before drawing 3-3 with Clermont. Lyon have now conceded six goals in their last two league matches, and having no clean sheet in the league this season points to a serious problem in defence. In four of their last five matches, Lyon have conceded at least three goals, but have only failed to score in one of the five matches. They have no win in the last four league matches and have conceded two or more goals in four of five.
