This match is a continuation of the French Ligue 1 2021/2022. Almost relegated by only finishing 18th in the French Ligue 1 competition for the 2020/2021 season, Nantes certainly has a mission to rise this season.

Second Team News
With this record, Nantes now occupies the eighth post of the temporary standings, with four points. They are also three points adrift of the top 4 teams on the table briefly. When serving Lyon later, Nantes brought bad capital, namely a record of only one win in the last five matches.
The fourth week is still counted as the initial weeks which are important to determine the fate of a team in a competitive season.

Waiting for Lyon's First Three Points
Nantes' performance so far can't be called good, but the statistics of their potential enemy Olympique Lyon are apparently no better. Nantes are fortunate because in their first three matches in Ligue 1 this season, there is still one win that stops. While Lyon, registered really have not won in the opening two matches.
Initially the 2021/2022 season did seem to be a bad start for Lyon. In the opening match, the team now led by Peter Bosz drew 1-1 against Brest. Furthermore, they were shaved by 3 goals without reply by Angers, previously playing in a draw against a club that had just been promoted from the French second class, Clermont Foot.
Looking at the statistics of the last few matches, Lyon's record looks really worrying. Lyon registered the last time scoring a win on 18 July 2021 the other day, in a friendly against Wolfsburg. Furthermore, Peter Bosz's team has never scored a win in six consecutive matches.
