Approaching the final three matches with a mix of determination and resignation, Toulouse and Nantes will aim to showcase their prowess on the field. Nantes, known as the Canaries, will grace the Stadium on Sunday for the 36th day of Ligue 1.
Nantes, the promoted side, have largely achieved their objectives, losing only one match in their last 8 outings. Despite the absence of Filip Djordjevic, Michel Der Zakarian’s squad heads to Toulouse without the weight of pressure. Serge Gakpé, the right attacking midfielder for Nantes, has been instrumental in their successful end to the season. Quietly and steadily, the Togolese international has stepped up in the absence of the injured Serbian striker, Djordjevic.
However, Der Zakarian will have to manage without Johan Audel, who is sidelined due to injury (thigh).
The Nantes squad for the upcoming match includes: Riou, Zelazny – Alhadhur, Cissokho, Djidji, Djilobodji, Veigneau, Vizcarrondo – Bedoya, Bessat, Deaux, Gomis, Nicolita, Toure, Veretout – Aristeguieta, Bangoura, Gakpé.
This lineup reflects Nantes’ resolve to finish the season on a high note, even as they face Toulouse in their upcoming encounter.
