Pau Attack Ready to Breach Nantes Line

Pau sit third after eleven games and have taken five straight wins. They average 1.3 goals a game at home while Nantes concede 1.6 per away fixture. The visitors sit fifteenth with nine points from their opening eleven matches and have managed just one win in their last five outings. Pau have failed to score in three league games overall yet their recent run of results shows consistent threat in attack. Their only previous meeting with Nantes produced over two and a half goals. The game may see Pau press early at Nouste Camp with Nantes likely to sit deeper at times. The main risk remains a tight opening half where clear chances stay limited.
