Nantes will host Bordeaux on Sunday - Ligue 1

In Ligue 1 action this weekend, Nantes will lock horns with Bordeaux at the Stade de la Beaujoire on Sunday afternoon.

Nantes are struggling for form at the moment and have fallen behind in their pursuit of continental football. They were beaten 3-2 by second-placed Olympique Marseille last time out. Nantes took the lead twice but were pegged back on both occasions before falling behind 15 minutes from time.

The Canaries now sit tenth in the Ligue 1 standings with 47 points from 33 games. They will look to return to winning ways this weekend to keep their European ambitions alive.

Bordeaux, meanwhile, have had an abysmal campaign and are inching ever closer towards relegation. They were held to a 2-2 draw by fellow relegation battlers Saint-Etienne last weekend, squandering a two-goal lead.

Bordeaux, meanwhile, are winless in back-to-back games and have won just one of their last 11 matches. They have struggled away from home this season, winning just two of their 16 games on the road.

Neither team is enjoying life at the moment, but the poor away form of the visitors could mean the points going Nantes' way.
