Today a match of the French League A between Nantes and Narbonne will take place.
The club rounds up the top five in the division. In their last five matches, they've clinched three victories: 3:0 against Club De Cambrai in the French Cup, 3:2 and 3:1 respectively against Plessi Robinson, the latter being in the Cup. Their losses were against the absolute tops of the championship: 1:3 against Tourcoing and 0:3 against Chaumont . The team's tally stands at 15 wins and 5 losses.
Thirteenth in the ratings, the club is on the verge of division relegation. In the last round, they were defeated by "Nice" with a score of 0:3, and prior to that, they lost 2:3 to tournament outsider Illacaise. In 20 matches, they managed only three wins and suffered 17 losses.
Based on the statistics, Nantes definitely has the upper hand. Out of 28 matches, they claimed 18 victories. However, it's not as simple as it seems. It's worth noting that in their last five encounters, Narbonne has emerged victorious three times, and quite convincingly so (3:1, 3:0, 3:0).
Though Narbonne is not performing well this season, they should not lose outright. Backing their handisap in sets at 2.5 for 1.74 looks like the best option here.
