Lille – Nantes Preview: Latest Form, News, and Potential Lineups

Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for this duel, including our predicted Lille vs Nantes lineups.

Lille

Lille started their new season with a disappointing 1-1 away draw vs Nice. Les Dogues dominated the play but struggled to create clear chances and this is why they failed to win. 

Lille are targeting a top 3 finish this campaign and they ended last season in great home form, won all of their last 5 home league games. 

There are some selection issues in defence going into this game. The main right-back Tiago Djalo and the regular centre-back Samuel Umtiti are sidelined. Santos did well on the right flank in round 1 and he should start again. Ribeiro seems set for another chance in the heart of the defence. 

Predicted Lineup: 

Chevalier (GK), Santos, Diakite, Ribeiro, Ismaily, Andre, Baleba, Virginius, Cabella, Haraldsson & David 

Nantes

After narrowly escaping the drop last season Nantes didn’t make the best of starts to the new campaign either. They lost 1-2 at home vs Toulouse last weekend. Took the lead from the penalty spot in this match but then a shaky defensive display saw them beaten. 

The Canaries come into this match trying to end a 16-game winless run vs Lille. 

Key goalkeeper Lafont is sidelined right now, so Descamps is starting between the posts. Zeze could start again if Nantes keep the 3-man defensive formation. Recently signed Augusto and Marquinhos are expected to play key roles but this weekend they are more likely to come off the bench. 

Coco struggled with cramps in round 1 so he is a slight fitness doubt. 

Predicted Lineup: 

Descamps (GK), Zeze, Pallois, Pierre-Gabriel, Coco, Moutoussamy, Chirivela, Mollet, Merlin, Simon & Mohamed

Player to Watch: Jonathan David

Lille’s star striker Jonathan David comes into the game hungry to open his account for the new season. David scored 24 league goals in 37 appearances last term. He also bagged 2 goals in the last game vs Nantes in the spring. 

We can see David being extra active in this first home match of the campaign and against the shaky Canaries, he could be easily looking at multiple goals once more.
