Paris SG vs Nantes: Prediction and Betting Tips

Paris SG 

After a midweek UEFA Champions League triumph over Barcelona and qualifying to the quarter-finals, PSG will turn their attention to the Ligue 1 as they aim to overtake Lille at the top of the table and retain their title.

Although PSG are not dominant as they were in previous seasons and had a slow start to this campaign, they have found their form back and are challenging on three fronts. They have one defeat in five matches in Ligue 1 and are two points behind league leaders Lille.

With an attacking force consisting of Mbappe, Neymar, Icardi, and Keane, Coach Mauricio Pocchetino has little worries about getting on the score-sheet. PSG have the best goal-scoring record with 62 goals averaging 2.2 goals per game.

Nantes

With just four wins all season, Nantes are in deep trouble at the 19th position with 25 points. They can still survive but Coach Antoine Kombouare has a lot of work to do with his team especially in defense as they haven’t had a clean sheet in 11 games.

In their last match, Nantes lost at home to Reims 1-2. The Canaries went ahead in the first half but failed to hold on to their lead, as they have done so many times before in their previous matches. Nantes had more chances with 12 attempts and five on target but the visitors won the game with just two shots on goal.

Key Stats

• Paris SG have lost two of their last eight home matches

• Paris SG have scored in six of their last eight home matches

• Nantes haven’t lost their last two away matches
