PAU – Nantes

Pau host Nantes at Nouste Camp with both sides eager to improve their league fortunes. Sitting sixth with 14 points from four wins, two draws and three defeats, Pau have a modest +2 goal difference (11‑9) and will look to extend their recent run of unbeaten matches. Nantes, down in 14th place on eight points after two wins, two draws and five losses, carry a –5 goal deficit (11‑16) and will need to turn their defensive frailties around to climb out of the relegation zone. The head‑to‑head record this season offers Pau a slight edge, and a positive result could see them close the gap to the top half, while Nantes will hope to spark a revival and distance themselves from the bottom three.
