FC Nantes — GW 21 · 9–12 Oct

Nantes hosts Reims at La Beaujoire, with the goal of securing a second straight victory. League resumes after three weeks of preparation and two friendly matches. The squad was able to continue working on the tactics and system expected by the coach. With friendlies played behind closed doors, no information leaked about the lineup and players used. In defense, the main question will be on the left flank, where playing time has been shared between Cherni and Hachem in recent matches. In midfield, spots are up for grabs. Pierret is the only player pretty much assured of starting. Robinet and Ganago should form the attack. Corredor is back, but probably not yet physically ready to start.
