Goal Statistics

Lille's fans will be hoping for goals on Sunday afternoon, not least because Nantes have conceded in each of their last 5 Ligue 1 games. A PG of 1.8 for B. Génésio's side suggests that run should continue.

Goals have been an issue for Nantes of late. It has been 5 Ligue 1 games since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.1 suggests they'll struggle to end that run on Sunday afternoon against Lille.
