The French leaders will be back in action on Saturday evening, as they look to stretch their advantage at the top of the standings. PSG will be heavily favoured in the betting, as they chase a sixth straight success when they host Nantes in Ligue 1.
Ligue 1 Preview
Luis Enrique’s tactics appear to be coming across at PSG, as the club’s performances have improved immeasurably over the past few months. PSG come into the weekend sitting top of the standings, and they were able to extend their advantage to four points last weekend after Nice dropped points.
This weekend, they will be looking to extend that advantage to seven points at the top, and they come into their match against Nantes after winning each of their last five in Ligue 1. The Parisians were professional in their previous match in the competition, as they battled to a 2-0 win on the road against Le Havre, despite being down to ten men. Kylian Mbappe opened the scoring after 23 minutes, before the advantage was extended in the final minute by Vitinha.
Nantes could present a difficult challenge for PSG this weekend, as they come into the weekend after bouncing back to form by going two without defeat. That is a welcome return to form for the visitors after they had lost three on the bounce prior to that run before the international break.
There should be confidence around the camp ahead of this fixture on the weekend, as Nantes landed a shock 1-0 win over Nice in their previous match in the league. Their winning goal in that fixture was netted after just 25 minutes by Florent Mollet.
PSG vs Nantes Head to Head
PSG’s record in this fixture is staggering, as they have won 22 of their 25 matches against Nantes across all competitions. The visitors have recorded just three wins over the same period. PSG have landed wins in the last two, which includes a straightforward 4-2 success in this exact fixture last term.
PSG vs Nantes Prediction
It looks challenging to overlook PSG’s recent form in France’s top flight, and they appear excellent value to continue their winning sequence in front of their home fans on Saturday. Therefore, it could be worthwhile siding with the Parisians on the spread.
