This will be a good opportunity for Juventus to make sure they move on to the next phase because in the play-off round they will face Nantes, which incidentally this season Nantes is not playing well. Nantes could only finish in second place with 3 wins and 3 defeats by creating 6 goals and conceding 11 times. Even though Juventus are currently in a state that cannot be said to be good, if they are compared to Nantes, of course they are much better.
Nantes would become easy opponent for juventus. Nantest was a small team and juventus can wipe it easily from the europa league but juventus must play with its best performance to make sure if it can secure a position to go to the next round. Loosing against nantes will be hurting the name of juventus as a big team in the europa league. That will be a big shame for juventus if nantes will win against juventus. juventus will be gambling its big name in the match against a small team like nantes.
If i am not mistaken Nantes was playing at europa league not because they finish at top 5 on France league and they can playing at this competition because Nantes is the champion of France cup last season so automatically they will playing at group stage and surprisingly Nantes can able to qualified to round of 16 after finish on runner up position under Freiburg but they weren't lucky because get strong opponent Juventus
At France league Nantes is the team who still fight to avoid relegation zone and they had poor performance at their domestic league with only gets 2 wins from 15 matches and compared to Juventus i think obviously Juventus is far to better than them so Juventus will get easy opponent this time and if Juventus can playing well i think beat Nantes shouldn't be big problem for them and i would be shocked if Juventus failed to win from Nantes
