A Sports Betting Pick by ArmchairPunter
Football : France: Ligue 1
Venue: Stade de la Beaujoire
Sunday 17th May 2026, 2000hrs (GMT)
Nantes have nothing left to play for but pride on the final day of the French top flight season on Sunday night when they play host to Toulouse at their Stade de la Beaujoire as Vahid Halihodzic’s side have already been relegated from Ligue 1 ahead of this upcoming encounter.
Despite gaining all three points in the top flight recently thanks to a resounding 3-0 home win against Marseille, this rare victory proved to be the exception rather than the rule for Nantes who have managed just this singular win from their last 10 matches.
Having also been dealt six defeats along with being involved in three draws, Nantes look decidedly ‘on the beach’ ahead of this final game of the season and as the hosts also possess the second-worst record at home in the division, the omens do not look good for a Nantes win here.
Toulouse meanwhile occupy the mid-table safety of 10th place in the Ligue 1 table with neither a European spot nor relegation worries bothering the visitors ahead of this upcoming encounter at the Stade de la Beaujoire on Sunday night.
The visitors had previously slumped to a four-game winless run in Ligue 1 which included slipping to three defeats at the hands of PSG, Lille and Lens respectively, but Carles Martinez’s side have subsequently steadied the ship by recording recent back-to-back wins.
Victories over Strasbourg and Lyon respectively should give Toulouse a welcome boost for this final fixture of the season against an already-relegated Nantes outfit, while an away record of 6-2-8 22/22 should at least see the visitors avoid defeat.
The Betting Verdict
Each of the last three meetings have resulted in stalemate.
The Pick :
Nantes 1-1 Toulouse
