Our prediction - Asian handicap (0) on Nantes
We think that the Canaries will play their brand of football - they are very strong on defense. It won't be easy for the Red-Blues to break through the opponent's defense. However, the hosts are dangerously close to the relegation zone, so they will search for their chances at the opponent's goal.
Our second bet is on total over 2,5 goals
