**Pau are flying and Nantes are drowning** — this is basically a Ligue 2 pairing of vibes right now. 🔥

Pau's just demolished everyone in sight with five straight wins, while Nantes have barely kept their heads above water (two draws, three losses in their last five). The hosts have serious momentum at Nouste Camp.

Key storylines:

- **Pau's attack is rolling**: L. Gadegbeku and H. Benali have been part of a unit that's scored in every recent outing — Nantes' leaky defense could be in real trouble.
- **Nantes need a reaction**: I. Ganago and T. Robinet are their creative spark, but without defensive stability (conceded 3 to USL Dunkerque at home recently), they're just hoping to nick a goal on the break.
- **Home fortress vibes**: Pau haven't put a foot wrong at Nouste Camp; Nantes are 0-1 in their head-to-head matchup.

Expected lineups:

- **Pau FC**: B. Maubleu, G. Paquiez, A. Briançon, A. Bamba, T. Pouilly, M. Tourraine, J. Benet, L. Rajot, L. Gadegbeku, H. Benali, B. Leye
- **Nantes**: M. Dupé, L. Perrin, S. Sow, K. Amian, F. Guilbert, F. Doucouré, J. Lepenant, R. Hachem, I. Sissoko, T. Robinet, I. Ganago

Prediction:

**Pau 2–0 Nantes**. Form is form, and Pau's edge is just too sharp right now. 📍
