Hanging against Montpellier (1-1) on Friday, FC Nantes took only a small step towards remaining in Ligue 1. The Canaries are not safe from relegation, especially since their scorer Mostafa Mohamed cannot stop his bad dynamic which has lasted for almost eight months.
It is obviously difficult to imagine a success for Le Havre at the Parc des Princes this Saturday evening. In the event of victory, Paris Saint-Germain would be officially crowned champion of France. However, the promoted player, a barrage before the start of this 31st day of Ligue 1, can come back within a short distance of FC Nantes. The point obtained in Montpellier on Friday is therefore not such a good operation for the Canaries deprived of the efficiency of their scorer. At La Mosson, Mostafa Mohamed still produced a good copy. The Egyptian was the author of the decisive pass for his teammate Matthis Abline.
But the 26-year-old center forward did not find the net, in particular because of a save from goalkeeper Benjamin Lecomte on his head. The bad streak continues for Mostafa Mohamed who has not scored in Ligue 1 in almost eight months! His last goal excluding set pieces dates back to September 1, it was against Olympique de Marseille (1-1). Since then, the Egyptian international has scored from the penalty spot, twice from a free kick and with a header from a corner.

This is clearly insufficient for the Nantes player, author of 8 goals this season in the championship. The former Galatasaray player had an excellent African Cup of Nations in January, but the confidence gained was not enough. His coach Antoine Kombouaré therefore expects an awakening during the last three days of the championship. But the task promises to be difficult against Brest, Lille and Monaco, three contenders for qualification in the Champions League.
