PSG vs Nantes Prediction 09.12.2023

• Competition: Ligue 1
• Date: 9th December 2023
• Time:  20:00 UK/ 21:00 CEST
• Venue: Parc des Princes (Paris)

In the last round, with a lot of effort, PSG managed to take all three points from a difficult away game against Le Havre. Much harder than most expected, they managed to break the resistance of the tough hosts, and one of the main culprits for that was goalkeeper Gigi Donnarumma, who received a red card at the very start of the match and left his team with one less player.

In the second half, Le Havre dominated the field and dictated the tempo of the game, but they always lacked the final move. At the very end of the match, Vitinha scored a beautiful goal and thus punished the home team for all the misses for the final 0:2.

Nantes barely managed to stay in the company of the best French clubs last season. Their goal is to make this season far more successful and try to finish in the upper part of the table. So far they are playing decently. With 18 points won, this squad is 9th placed in the table. On Saturday, they beat one of the best clubs in the league, Nice, on their home field, ending an unpleasant streak of 4 games without a win. The key moment of that match happened in the 25th minute when Florent Mollet was the most deft in front of the visitors' goal and scored the winning goal, his third of the season.

PSG vs Nantes pick: OVER 3.5 GOALS

Although they are currently the leader in the Ligue 1 table, it is noticeable that PSG plays with a lot of oscillations this season. This is best seen in the Champions League, where there is a chance that PSG will end competition in the group stage. The impression is that there is a big imbalance between the defensive and attacking parts of the team, as well as a lack of creative players. They are definitely too dependent on Kylian Mbbape and Luis Enrique's main job is to raise the attacking productivity of the other players. It is evident that the other clubs perceive them with less respect than before and that they are aware that they can compete with them. This also can often be counterproductive for these teams, so sometimes can be sent off with convincing defeats at the Parc des Princes. The previous matches between PSG and Nantes at this stadium were full of goals, and that will be the case this time as well.
