Nantes Atlantique hasn't gotten off to a good start ranked #14 in the 20-team French League 1. Last season they were #13 in the standings with a losing record because of an anemic offense (28 goals in 28 matches), third-worst in the league. The team is winless (0-2-2) in their last four road games getting outscored 4-1. They head to a powerhouse Lille squad that was fourth in the league standings last year with the fourth-ranked defense (27 goals allowed in 28 games). Lille looks just as strong in the new campaign, fifth in the standings anchored by a defense that has surrendered two goals in four matches. Lille is a dominant 14-2-7 all-time against Nantes Atlantique including four wins in the last four meetings. Play Lille on the moneyline.
