Nantes faces a challenging match this Saturday as they travel to the Côte d’Azur to take on Nice in the 25th round of Ligue 1. The Canaries find themselves in a tough spot, experiencing a period of uncertainty. Following a defeat at home to Lyon, Nantes has now gone four consecutive league matches without a win, securing just one point in four outings. As a result, FC Nantes has slipped to 11th place in the standings. Michel Der Zakarian’s squad must regroup to avoid slipping further towards the relegation zone.
According to Serge Gakpé, the current downturn in form for the yellow house can be attributed to the increased vigilance of their opponents. “We are being taken more seriously now. At the beginning of the season, teams faced us with the mindset of easily overcoming us. But now, they know what to expect from us. They are more cautious, which means we need to elevate our performance levels. Once we do that, things will turn around. However, there’s no need to panic,” analyzed the Togolese international in an interview with France 3.
