Nantes will be hoping to bounce back here following a 2-1 Ligue 1 loss in their previous game against Rennes.

In that match, Nantes managed 35% possession and 4 shots at goal with 1 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Nantes was Mostafa Mohamed (54'). On the other side, Rennes got 19 attempts on goal with 5 on target. Adrien Truffert (23') was the scorer for Rennes.

It’s been all too rare in recent times that Nantes haven’t conceded. In fact, Nantes have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, leaking 8 goals along the way. That kind of pattern isn’t assured to be carried forward into this game, however.

Coming into this contest, Nantes haven't beaten Paris Saint-Germain in their previous 5 league games.

Looking at the pre-match facts, Paris Saint-Germain:

📰 Team News: Nantes

Francis Coquelin (Hamstring injury), Pedro Chirivella (Dead leg) and Fabien Centonze (Knee injury) won’t be playing for Nantes manager Antoine Kombouaré.

We think that Les Canaris will possibly use a 4-3-2-1 system for this game, beginning the first half with Anthony Lopes, Kelvin Amian, J. Castelletto, Nicolas Pallois, Nicolas Cozza, Douglas Augusto, Louis Leroux, Johann Lepenant, Matthis Abline, Moses Simon and Mostafa Mohamed.

📋 Team News: PSG

We’re of the thinking that Les Rouge-et-Bleu will likely utilise a 4-3-3 system, starting the game with Gianluigi Donnarumma, Warren Zaire-Emery, Marquinhos, Lucas Beraldo, Lucas Hernandez, Senny Mayulu, Joao Neves, Kang-In Lee, Ousmane Dembele, Goncalo Ramos and K. Kvaratskhelia.

💡 Prediction

In this match, Nantes will likely be able to score against this Paris Saint-Germain side, however a single goal might not be good enough.

We’re therefore expecting a very close game with a 1-2 victory for Paris Saint-Germain after the 90. Could easily go either way, this.
