After a very positive year 2024, LOSC will try to launch 2025 on equally positive bases during the reception in Nantes on Saturday (7 p.m.). A match for which the refereeing body has been appointed.
A referee who brings back a bad memory
Designated for the LOSC – Nantes meeting, Jeremy Pignard has already crossed paths with the Northerners eight times for just as many victories. Last season, he was on the whistle during the big home victory against Le Havre (3-0). On the Nantes side, the results are much less rosy with 2 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses. The Canaries' last success with the 37-year-old official dates back to the Ligue 1/Ligue 2 first leg play-off against Toulouse in May 2021. Since then, the Kita club has lost four times with just as many draws conceded.
