Nantes welcome Italian giants Juventus to France on Thursday for the second leg of a delicately balanced Europa League play-off tie.
The Ligue 1 side claimed a 1-1 draw in Turin last week to give them a slight advantage ahead of a return leg in front of their own supporters.
Dusan Vlahovic gave Juve an early lead in that game, but Ludovic Blas struck back for the visitors after the break and they hung on despite Federico Chiesa rattling the crossbar.
The two teams are separated by 109 places in the UEFA coefficient, underlining Nantes’ underdog status, and the Ligue 1 side are currently down in 13th in the league table with one win in their last four outings in all competitions.
Juve were hit with a 15-point penalty in Serie A after an investigation into financial wrongdoing, but they head to France on a good run of five games without defeat in all competitions – and Blas’ strike was the only goal they’ve conceded in that time.
Kick-off is at 5:45pm GMT.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Europa League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a Europa League fixture, then you won't be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Europa League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
International Premier League TV rights
• UK: Sky Sports and BT Sport are the two main players once again, but Amazon also have a slice of the pie in 2022/23.
• USA: NBC Sports Group are the Premier League rights holders, with the Peacock Premium streaming platform showing even more than the 175 games it aired last season. If you pick up a fuboTV subscription for the games not on Peacock Premium, you'll be able to watch every game.
• Canada: The way to watch Premier League football in 2022/23 is fuboTV, which has exclusive rights to all the action.
• Australia: Optus Sport will screen every game of the Premier League season. Non-subscribers can access the action via a Fetch TV box and other friendly streaming devices.
