Nantes to Win
This is the perfect opportunity for Nantes to finally win their third game of the season against the worst away team in the league. Sure, several teams have won only four points away from home, but Auxerre has the worst goal difference. On the other hand, Nantes won their both games on home turf where they lost only once this term.
Under 2.5 Goals
Auxerre does have ten ‘over' games this season, but most of the time they were outplayed and outscored by their opponents. Nantes is a more defensive-minded team that likes to draw games a lot. Out of their last five matches, with four draws, in only one game there were more than two goals scored.

Potential Lineups, Preview, and Team News
Nantes
Nantes had eight draw games this season which is tied for most in the league alongside Reims and Strasbourg. They also have two wins, but the last one was achieved over two months ago against Brest which is a very similar opponent to Auxerre as they are all battling to stave off relegation to Ligue 2. In most games this season, Nantes has problems scoring goals, they have recorded only 17 in 16 games played, and is no wonder they are in a tough situation fighting to remain in the Top Division. Almost a third of their goals were courtesy of Moses Simon, a left-winger who got five for the season. However, a lot is dependent on Mostafa Mohamed's form as well. Nantes has a couple of missings through injury with Fabio da Silva and Denis Petric out. Gor Manvelyan is a doubt.
Nantes's potential starting 11: Lafont, Corchia, Castelletto, Pallois, Merlin, Girotto, Blas, Sissoko, Chirivella, Simon, Mostafa Mohamed.
Auxerre
The visitors started the season brightly, but since then they have accumulated nine losses with only three wins. They are especially struggling as an away team and will be focused to take away at least a point from Nantes who are playing a defensive-focused game. Auxerre was unfortunate to lose against Monaco in their first game after the World Cup break, the winning goal was scored in the last minutes of the game. They are the worst team in the league when it comes to away form, with their goal difference at 7-22. They only won once away from home, and that was some time ago. Auxerre just got back into Ligue 1 and is already in danger of going back to the lower division. It remains to be seen if the club's management can find some additional funds to bring some reinforcements during the January transfer window. Kays Ruiz-Atil will miss the game through injury, while Kenji Boto and Theo Pellenard are doubtful.
Auxerre's potential starting 11: Costil, Mensah, Jeanvier, Jubal, Zedadka, Perrin, Toure, Sakhi, Sinayoko, Autret, Niang.

Auxerre
Player to Watch: Mostafa Mohamed
The 25-year-old Egyptian center-forward is the Nantes' second-best scorer with four goals, but he leads the team with three assists. His creativity is the key to the team getting some much-needed goals, and against Auxerre, he will be the focus of the opponent's defense.
