Nantes desperately need points on Friday, Jan 22 at 8:00 PM in the Ligue 2. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Dunkerque come into this fixture in mixed form (1W 1D 1L). Nantes travel struggling badly (0W 3L in last 3), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Dunkerque and Nantes have split their 1 meetings almost evenly (0W–0D–1W). Their last encounter ended in Dunkerque won 1–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Dunkerque a slight edge, but Nantes are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
