Nantes desperately need points on Friday, Feb 26 at 8:00 PM in the Ligue 2. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Nantes come into this fixture struggling badly (0W 3L in last 3). Pau, meanwhile, arrive out of form (1W 2L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Nantes and Pau have split their 1 meetings almost evenly (1W–0D–0W). Their last encounter ended in Pau won 1–4. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 5.0 per game in recent meetings.

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