Match Information
Match Overview
Nancy host Limoges at Nancy Arena on November 7 in an LNB fixture between two sides in the lower-middle part of the table, with Nancy 11th and Limoges 13th. Only two places separate them, which gives this regular-season meeting genuine relevance for anyone watching the standings.
The most telling factor is head-to-head history, which leans clearly toward the home side in recent years. Nancy won the most recent meeting 95-89 away at Limoges on March 28, 2026, and also took the October 18, 2025 home fixture 117-85, a 32-point margin. They also won at home on November 16, 2024 (90-86). Limoges' most recent wins in the series came on February 9, 2025 (97-89), April 20, 2024 (102-99) and December 10, 2023 (75-67). Across the last ten listed meetings, scoring is typically high, with several results featuring one side reaching or passing 95 points.
Recent form is the second major storyline. Nancy have three wins in their last five matches across competitions, including a 108-94 league victory at Dijon on October 30 and an 80-65 home win over Nanterre on October 17. They also carry a schedule element, having played in the FIBA Europe Cup on October 20 and October 28, which adds to their workload. Limoges, by contrast, have lost three of their last five, including league defeats at Pau-Orthez (85-81 on October 25) and at home to Lyon-Villeurbanne (97-94 on October 17), as well as a 108-96 loss at Dijon on October 9. Their French Cup win at Toulouse (99-88 on October 13) and a 92-75 home win over Saint Quentin on October 3 show they can score freely when things click.
Neither club has reported injuries, so both should be able to select from full squads. That places the emphasis on form and matchup rather than absences. Nancy arrive with momentum and a favorable history, while Limoges look for a response after two successive league losses.

Team Form Analysis
Nancy
League Position: 11Nancy Form Analysis
Nancy's last five matches produced three wins and two defeats, with a mix of league and European fixtures. In the LNB they beat Nanterre 80-65 at home on October 17, lost 78-74 at Lyon-Villeurbanne on October 25, and then won 108-94 at Dijon on October 30. That is two wins from three league outings, with the single loss decided by only four points.
Offensively, the output is strong. Nancy scored 108 at Dijon and 99 against Nitra Blue Wings in the FIBA Europe Cup on October 20, a 99-60 home win. The 74 points scored at Lyon-Villeurbanne was their lowest total in this run, showing how much the attack drives their results.
Defensively, the record is more variable. They held Nanterre to 65 and Nitra Blue Wings to 60, but conceded 94 at Dijon and 90 in a 90-87 loss at Szczecin in the FIBA Europe Cup on October 28. Two of their three away matches in this stretch were played on the road, and the Europe Cup commitments mean a busy schedule heading into November 7. Overall, the trajectory is positive, built on scoring volume.
Limoges
League Position: 13Limoges Form Analysis
Limoges have won two of their last five matches, but the league picture is less encouraging. In the LNB they have lost three of four, falling 108-96 at Dijon on October 9, 97-94 at home to Lyon-Villeurbanne on October 17, and 85-81 at Pau-Orthez on October 25. Their only league win in this span was 92-75 at home against Saint Quentin on October 3.
The attack has generally been productive. Limoges scored 99 in the French Cup win at Toulouse on October 13 and 94 against Lyon-Villeurbanne, so their scoring numbers have often been competitive even in defeat. The 81 points at Pau-Orthez was their lowest output of the run.
Defense is the clearer concern. Limoges conceded 108 at Dijon and 97 to Lyon-Villeurbanne, and the two closest losses were decided by four and three points, suggesting tight margins rather than heavy defeats. The 88 points allowed at Toulouse did not prevent a victory. Having played the same Dijon side that Nancy beat on October 30, they will be aware of how that opponent can be handled, but they arrive on a two-game league losing run with defensive consistency to address.
