Nantes sit 17th in the Ligue 2 on 4 points from 6 matches, having scored 7 and conceded 12. The model rates their attack at 0.90× the league average and their defence at 1.10× goals conceded, where 1 is average and a lower defensive figure is better — below average at both ends by these numbers. Across their last 5 league matches they have 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats, most recently losing to Sochaux 0-1 away. That is 0.67 points a match, scoring 1.17 and conceding 2.00 per game across 1 win, 1 draw and 4 defeats. That leaves them 11 points behind Saint Etienne at the top, in a table of 18. Among the 18 rated sides in the division that is the 1st-best attack and the 1st-best defence. They scored in 5 of those 5 and kept 2 clean sheets. Next they travel to Boulogne in the Ligue 2 on 19 September 2026, a match the model gives them 42%.
