The hosts are without a win in their last four matches heading into this contest, while the visitors are unbeaten in their last three Ligue 1 games.

Antoine Kombouare, whi lifted the Coupe de France in 2022, returned for his second spell in charge of Nantes in March 2024, but the manager has had a difficult run of results since returning.

He won just two of their final eight league matches last season, but their form seemed to be on the rise at the beginning of the new campaign as they won and drew one of their first three games.

However, a 2-1 defeat to Reims marked the start of their downturn, with Nantes failing to win any of the subsequent three matches, leaving them without a win in four games, two draws and two losses, heading into this contest.

Meanwhile, Nice have had an inconsistent start to the 2024-25 campaign, winning two, losing two and drawing three of their first seven Ligue 1 matches, a significantly worse start compared to last season, when they remained unbeaten in their first 13 games.

A staggering 8-0 victory over Saint-Etienne on matchday five in Ligue 1 appeared to be a turning point for Nice, offering them a foundation to build on in the subsequent matches.

However, Franck Haise’s side have failed to capitalise on that momentum, going winless in their next four matches across all competitions, with three draws and one loss.

Nice did record a promising 1-1 draw with Paris Saint-Germain in their last match, and they will be looking to build upon that result with a first win in four games here.

Nantes vs. Nice Head to head

In the previous 43 meetings between these two teams, Nantes have claimed 18 victories while Nice have won 12, and they have drawn in 13. Nice have scored 42 goals and conceded 56 in the process.
