Nancy – Quevilly Rouen : Preview & Prediction
AS Nancy Lorraine will almost certainly be relegated to the National next month but the bottom club are keen to put off the deadline for as long as possible. There are still 12 points to take but Nancy are 10 points behind first-placed Rodez. With a win on Friday, ASNL can move to within seven points of 18th-placed Quevilly-Rouen. Albert Cartier’s side ended their four-game losing streak with a point in Aveyron against Rodez (1-1) this weekend. Despite two recent defeats at Marcel Picot against AC Ajaccio (0-2) and Niort (0-2), the Lorraine club will not forget that they recently held Caen (1-1) and then beat Dunkerque (2-0) and especially Paris FC (2-0) at home. Quevilly-Rouen, 18th and in the play-off position, travel to the east of France with a lot of uncertainty. The Normandy club has still not won away from home in 2022 and remains on 1 draw (in Guingamp) and 6 defeats in its last 7 trips. The partners of Nazon (7 goals) lost their last two trips to Niort (2-0) and Touloue (2-0) on April 16. Quevilly-Rouen, who are level on points with 17th-placed Rodez, have only managed one win against Rodez (2-0) in the last 11 games and have lost to Nimes (0-1) at home this Tuesday evening. This trip to Nancy is also crucial for the Normandy club who will be fighting for survival until the last day.
Quevilly-Rouen have taken just 1 point from their last 7 Ligue 2 trips.
Nancy have lost just 3 of their last 6 games.
Nancy lost the first leg 2-1 despite dominating the game (63% possession).
A draw or defeat would send ASNL to the National.
Quevilly-Rouen are 18th and in first place.
The stakes are high for both sides but the pressure will be on the visitors as Nancy, although still alive, will play free as it would take a miracle for the Lorraine club to stay in Ligue 2. As a result, the home side could launch a last-ditch effort and offer three points to their fans.
