Prediction & Line-ups
The hosts have performed fairly well recently. A win against the table-toppers would make them move up to the top 5 in the tally. Hence Nantes would potentially put up a good fight against PSG. However, PSG is coming after a Champions League victory against Real Madrid and heads into this fixture as the favorites. We predict this game to end with a Nantes 1-2 PSG scoreline.
Nantes Predicted XI: Lafont; Fabio, Pallois, Appiah, Merlin; Simon, Bukari, Chirivella, Blas; Kolo Muani, Coco.
PSG Predicted XI: Navas; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Kimpembe, Mendes; Verratti, Paredes, Gueye; Messi, Mbappe, Neymar.
