On Saturday, March 4, Paris St. Germain (PSG) and Nantes will compete in Ligue 1 at the Parc des Princes. It’s not surprising that the champions are at the top of the standings. They are eight games ahead of second-place Marseille and have won their last two games with 19 victories in 25 games.
Nantes, on the other hand, is 13th in the middle of the table. They appear to be safe from relegation with 28 points, but their performance has been subpar prior to this game.
This season, PSG have not shied away from suffering an unexpected defeat, with all three of their defeats occurring in 2023. However, it is highly unlikely that Nantes would send them reeling for the fourth time this season.

PSG vs Nantes Prediction :
After struggling against the best teams in Ligue 1, the visitors have won twice in their last five games, losing to PSG 3-0 in September. Christophe Galtier’s team should win their crucial UEFA Champions League Round of 16 second-leg matchup with Bayern Munich next week with Mbappe, Lionel Messi, and Neymar scoring freely.
Prediction: PSG 4-0 Nantes
PSG vs Nantes Head to head :
In recent years, Nantes’ record against PSG is surprising not to be too bad. Their most recent victory over the champions occurred in February 2022, and in March 2021, they also defeated them. However, PSG prevailed 3-0 in their previous meeting.
This season, PSG have not lost in Ligue 1 at the Parc des Princes, but they have lost three times away from home. In point of fact, they have only lost four home games this season, drawing with Monaco and Reims. With 17 goals this season, Parisian striker Kylian Mbappe leads Ligue 1 in scoring.
Amazingly, despite only being in his sixth season with the club, he scored 200 goals last weekend. Nantes goalkeeper Alban Lafont has kept nine clean sheets this season, with just two different aretakers – including PSG’s Gianluigi Donnarumma – keeping more.
PSG leads the Ligue 1 in goals scored this season with 62, nine more than Monaco, which is in second place.
PSG vs Nantes Team news :
PSG has lost center-back Presnel Kimpembe for the rest of the season due to an Achilles rupture he sustained in Le Classique. This puts Galtier’s three-man defense plans in jeopardy unless Nordi Mukiele or Danilo Pereira serves as a substitute center back. It would appear that Galtier is dealing with a new injury blow every week.
However, due to Marco Verratti’s absence due to an accumulation of bookings and the continued absence of Neymar and Renato Sanches, Galtier will most likely use Pereira in midfield. Achraf Hakimi missed the win over Marseille because of a problem with his thigh.
Since then, PSG has been rocked by allegations that a 23-year-old woman raped the right back before he was named to the FIFA FIFPRO Men’s World XI. The right-back has been charged by French prosecutors, and his problem with his thigh is still bothering him. As a result, he will miss this game before returning to team training next week.
Nicolas Pallois, a center-back for Nantes, should be back from a knee injury, but fellow defenders Sebastien Corchia, Quentin Merlin, and Charles Traore are likely to miss out, so Jaouen Hadjam, a 19-year-old, can anticipate playing left back again.
Ludovic Blas, Mostafa Mohamed, and Marcus Coco were undeniably past fit to make the seat for the Roadster de France in spite of past worries over their wellness, and the previous two might get an opportunity of getting back to the beginning setup – Evann Guessand and Andy Delort, who has a calf issue, would clear a path.
