On Sunday afternoon, Nantes hosts Monaco at the Stade de la Beaujoire in Ligue One in a potentially vital game for both teams.
The home team heads into this clash on the back of a poor recent run of league form. Nantes are on a six-game winless run in the French top flight, having picked up just two draws and suffered four defeats in the run.

The poor run of form could well drag Nantes into the fight for survival this season in Ligue One, as they are just four points clear of the drop zone in the French top flight.
Nantes recent home form has been a factor in the potentially perilous position in the table, as they have won just once in their last six matches in Ligue One.
Their recent home games in the league have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in five of their previous six games.
The team from the principality are currently in fourth place in the Ligue One table, occupying one of the Europa League spots in the French top flight.
However, they are just three points behind both Lens and Marseille in second place and third place, respectively. This season, a Champions League spot is well within reach for Philippe Clement's team.
Monaco has recorded back-to-back league wins over Ajaccio and Strasbourg after a three-game winless run in the French top flight. The visitors have also scored two goals in seven of their last nine matches in Ligue One.
Monaco are unbeaten in their last eight away games in Ligue One, having recorded five wins and picked up three draws.
The visitors have been prolific on their travels of late in the French top flight, having scored at least two goals in ten of their last 11 away games in Ligue One.
Forebet predicts that Monaco will continue their recent run in a high-scoring encounter to boost their Champions League hopes.
