PSG vs Nantes Preview
- Competition: Ligue 1.
- Date: Saturday, November 30.
- Time: 8:00 PM GMT.
- Venue: Parc des Princes.
PSG vs Nantes will be played in the late kick-off slot on November 30 in Ligue 1 as the league leaders will play host to lowly Nantes in 16th place.
The Parisians will enter this match on the back of a mixed run of form. They have secured three wins in their last five matches across competitions, but have also suffered two defeats in that span. They have been in decent scoring form, netting nine times in these games, while also conceding five goals. They have secured three consecutive wins in Ligue 1, defeating RC Lens, Angers and Toulouse, while falling to Champions League defeats against Atletico Madrid and Bayern.
Nantes, on the other hand, will enter this contest on the back of a poor run of form. They are winless since August 31, also registering four defeats and one draw in their last five matches across competitions. This has resulted in them falling into the relegation zone as they hang on in 16th place currently. With four-straight defeats, they could not have asked for a tougher fixture than facing the league leaders and will look to still perform at their best.
On that note, let’s take a look at the team news coming out of both camps.

Key Players to Watch
Bradley Barcola (PSG)
The young Frenchman continues to shine for the Parisians and is their top goal contributor in Ligue 1 so far this season. He has been supported well by the likes of Ousmane Dembele and Joao Neves, but one can sense Barcola believes this is his time to break through and establish himself as one of their leaders on the pitch. Currently goalless in his last four games, he will look to make a mark.
Moses Simon (Nantes)
The former La Liga striker has been the frontrunner for Nantes in terms of goal contributions this season. The Nigerian has four goals and three assists already to his name and has become a focal point and will look to score against PSG.
PSG vs Nantes Prediction
Going by the recent head-to-head record, there is only one winner for the next meeting between PSG and Nantes. Recent form can also provide no respite for the visitors as the hosts will be expected to walk away with a simple win.
Prediction: PSG 4-1 Nantes.
