*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Lille were eliminated from the UEFA Champions League earlier this week after a disappointing 2-1 home defeat against Borussia Dortmund. Bruno Genesio's men will turn their attention to the French top flight, where they seek to finish in the top three.
On the other hand, Nantes have lost back-to-back games without scoring. They are 14th in Ligue 1 ahead of their encounter with fifth-placed Lille.
With that in mind, Lille are the expected winners at 11/10 (2.10). Teams with these odds generally have a 47.6% probability of winning.
