Lyon and Nantes Go Head-to-Head: Who Go Survive This Clash?

Décines-Charpieu, France – As Ligue 1 dey hot, Lyon and Nantes go face each other for Groupama Stadium on Sunday, November 30, 2025. Both teams get different vibes as Lyon wan reclaim their top-five spot while Nantes dey fight hard to stay above relegation zone. Sabi say, Lyon don dey sit at seventh position, and e don dey take dem time to come back after dem draw 0-0 against Auxerre last week (no be small wahala o!).

Meanwhile, Nantes dey struggle. Dem don gather just 11 points and dey cruise around 15th position. Last week, dem still manage to draw with Lorient, but na very slim escape dem see (wetin dem dey find sef?). This match fit make or mar them, because if dem no fit win, dem go match their longest winless streak of the season with five games. Na bad news wey fit dey wait for dem ya!

Lyon’s form no too bright lately. Dem don dey on a four-match winless run for domestic league and e no biddin well for dem at all (they say na bad news dey travel fast). If dem no fit carry any points from this game, e go mark their longest run without victory since last season when dem wickedly drop points for their first ten matches. Doubling wahala, if Nantes manage to pull small magic for this match, e go mean that Lyon go suffer consecutive home defeats for the first time since August 2023.

Lyon don concede six goals for their last three domestic matches at Groupama Stadium. What happen to their clean sheet for the start of the season? No be small matter o! Their defensive game don dey loose like old slippers. But no worry, dem don get points in four consecutive meetings with La Maison Jaune, so dem no dey fear dem too much.

Nantes come, the team wey dey try dey find their balance under their new coach. But e no dey work well yet! This season, dem don find it hard to score goals, and dey currently get joint-fewest victories in the league with just two wins. They need to step up their scoring boots, because winter dey approach. If dem fit maintain their good defensive record away from home, maybe dem fit escape this Sunday with at least a draw.

For player absences, Lyon go miss Orel Mangala and Ernest Nuamah due to injury wahala (no be today dem start to catch injury). Malick Fofana and Ruben Kluivert dey also out due to ankle issues, while some players dey fit return from suspension. On the other side, Nantes go miss Francis Coquelin with hamstring hotness. Louis Leroux still dey recover from leg wahala.

So, as we dey look forward to dis match, who go catch the points? The home team dey look for redemption, while away team dey try survive. Na true football drama we dey expect, with both coaches plotting their own strategies. Fan dem for both sides go pray say their side fit carry the day. Make we watch am dey unfold!
