The 2022/23 French Ligue 1 season continues this weekend including the meeting between FC Nantes and Paris Saint-Germain.
The game will be played on the 3rd of September at the Stade de la Beaujoire and the hosts begin the weekend in 10th place on 6 points while the visitors are top of the table on 13 points.
FC Nantes come into the game on the back of a 1-1 draw at Strasbourg on Wednesday night in Ligue 1. It was the hosts who opened the scoring after 28 minutes but FC Nantes did not give up and scored the equalising goal with only 5 minutes left on the clock.
That result means FC Nantes are undefeated in 4 of their 5 Ligue 1 fixtures this season. They started the campaign with a 0-0 draw at Angers before being held to a 1-1 draw at home with Lille.
FC Nantes tasted defeat at Marseille but followed that with their first league victory of the season as they beat Toulouse 3-1 at home, coming back from a goal down in the first half.
FC Nantes have been difficult to beat at home in recent Ligue 1 games and they are undefeated in 12 of their last 13 league fixtures on home soil. In their last 6 home matches in Ligue 1, FC Nantes have seen both teams score.
Paris Saint-Germain make the trip to the Stade de la Beaujoire having picked up a 3-0 win at Toulouse on Wednesday night.
It took until the 37th minute for Paris Saint-Germain to open the scoring and they added a second shortly after half time. The scoring was complete in the 90th minute thanks to a goal by Juan Bernat.
That result means Paris Saint-Germain are undefeated in Ligue 1 this season. They have won 4 of their 5 league fixtures, beating Clermont, Lille, and Toulouse away in style and recording a 5-2 home victory over Montpellier.
The only dropped points for Paris Saint-Germain this season came last weekend when they were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Monaco.
Trends show in their 14 most recent matches in Ligue 1, there have been no losses for Paris Saint-Germain.
Paris Saint-Germain have won by 3 or more goals their last 4 away league games and have scored 3 or more goals in each of their last 7 Ligue 1 matches on the road.
Looking ahead to the team news and FC Nantes are without the injured trio of Quentin Merlin, Moses Simon, and Moussa Sissoko.
Paris Saint-Germain also have three players unavailable for this game, with Presnel Kimpembe, Pablo Sarabia, and Julian Draxler in the treatment room.
Paris Saint-Germain look set to make it 5 wins from 6 in Ligue 1 this season. The defending champions have been scoring goals for fun away from home and should find the back of the net at least 3 times on their way to victory. However, FC Nantes could also score to deny the visitors a clean sheet.
