Nantes have set themselves up nicely for this match by securing a 3-1 away win against Montpellier in their previous league match.  They achieved 31% possession in that match and had 9 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Montpellier's tally of 10 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.  

While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 6, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 7 goals and some valuable points in the process.  They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games.  

They've had a dismal run of form at Stade de la Beaujoire recently, losing all but 1 of their last 6 home games, their solitary win providing little consolation.

Reims will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 2-1 home win against Rennes.  In that game they had 53% possession and managed 11 attempts on goal, with 7 on target, compared to Rennes who had 13 attempts and 5 on target.  

When it comes to attacking power Luka Elsner will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 8 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 7 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.  

They've drawn their last 2 league games away from home, but their search for a league win on the road extends even further having gone 6 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.  

On an individual basis, Marshall Munetsi will be looking to cause Nantes some problems having scored 2 goals in Reims' last 6 away games in the league.
