Lille vs Nantes Prediction and Betting Tips | January 4th 2025

Lille will host Nantes at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy on Saturday in another round of the 2024-25 Ligue 1 campaign. The home side are enjoying a strong run of form at the moment and sit fourth in the league table with 27 points from 15 matches as they target back-to-back UEFA Champions League appearances.

They played out a 1-1 draw against Olympique Marseille last time out in the league, heading into the break a goal down before Bafode Diakite headed home a late leveler for Les Dogues. They wrapped up 2024 with a narrow but comfortable 1-0 win over Rouen in the Coupe de France and will be looking to pick up where they left off in the new year.

Nantes, meanwhile, have lost their way after a positive start to their league campaign and now find themselves just outside the drop zone. They were thrashed 4-1 by Stade Brestois in their last league outing but returned to winning ways in their final game of the year as they beat JA Drancy 4-0 in the Coupe de France.

The visitors sit 14th in the league table with 14 points from 15 matches and will be looking to kick off 2025 on a positive note.
