His ability to control the game's tempo and create scoring opportunities cannot be underestimated. Moreover, Eli Junior Eric Anat Kroupi, with a rating of 6.78, has been a revelation in midfield, contributing 4 goals and 3 assists, showcasing his attacking prowess.

Nantes will rely heavily on the likes of Samuel Alain Moutoussamy, a midfielder with a solid rating of 6.74. His gameplay, characterized by 281 passes and 10 key passes, will be essential for Nantes to penetrate Lorient's defenses. In attack, Marcus Regis Coco will be expected to step up and create scoring chances. With a rating of 6.75 and a knack for finding space in the attacking third, Coco's performance could be a game-changer.

Currently sitting at the 16th spot with 19 points, they have shown resilience at home, winning three out of eleven games. On the other side, Nantes, in the 12th position with 22 points, have mirrored this inconsistency with a recent record of one win, one draw, and three losses.

The home advantage and a 45% chance of victory seem to play in their favor.
