Nantes and Caen meet Wednesday, January 18, in a match outstanding of the stage number 17 of the first French football leagues.
FC Nantes (14th)
After a very poor first half of the season, Bretons were revived by the end of 2016, accounting for four wins and one defeat in official disputes in December. The emergence of positive results is due largely Sergio Conceicao of Portugal, who took over the reins of the team after the dismissal of Rene Girard.
The defeat recorded on 03/12/2016 in front of Guingamp (0-2) and made of Nantes officials to take radical measures. Technician who had started the current edition was ousted in an attempt to redress the team on time. The decision proved extremely inspired group in western France overnight turning in a band that knows how to win games.
Upside trend continued in the new year, former team’s Viorel Moldovan and Claudiu Keseru imposing the “Municipal Stadium” in front of Toulouse (0-1). Sure, there was syncope League Cup France (Nancy vs. 0-2), but the competition is not of interest to many bands in Ligue 1, Nantes is one of them.
With a defense that has excelled lately (no goal conceded in the previous three stages), canaries were able to pass above the red line of the ranking. However, there is still a delicate situation, with only two points over Angers, the first band built up a position relegated. Consequently, those in Nantes not afford no time to relax after the recent good period.
Stade Malherbe Caen (15th)
On how well the band evolves Patrice Garand at home, so the weak results recorded are away. If the “Stade Michel d’Ornano” has accounted for three wins and two draws in five previous matches, the situation is disastrous foreign land: 8 defeats in the last nine Ligue 1 matches.
Caen confirmed last weekend that it is a force when playing at home, imposing strong against Lyon at the end of a very spectacular match ended 3-2.
Despite the fact that he failed to gain too many points on foreign land, the group of Lower Normandy did not play bad at all in the previous two trips, managing decent performances in front of Lille (2-4) and AS Monaco (1-2) . Thus, we can talk in Caen’s case about significant improvements.
