Nantes vs Paris SG Prediction & Betting tips
In France, the ninth matchday of the current season is on the program this weekend. The Friday game between Olympique Marseille and RC Lens had to be postponed. The league starts with two games on Saturday – in the evening game there will be a duel between Nantes and PSG at the Stade de la Beaujoire.
Although head coach Christian Gourcuff’s team is still without a home defeat this season, a point win on Saturday evening would be a surprise.
The Tuchel-Elf have long forgotten the false start in the league and since last weekend they have taken the lead in Ligue 1 again. Given the current form and dominance, it wouldn’t be surprising if PSG were to be at the top until the end of the season. A slip in the port city is hard to imagine. The game starts on Saturday evening at 20:00 p.m.
In our Ligue 1 tip category, you will also find selected top games with a comprehensive analysis and betting recommendation this weekend.
Nantes:
The 2020 calendar year is a year to forget for Christian Gourcuff’s team. Before last season was canceled, Nantes could only win two of the nine league games. As a result, the team was ranked from fifth place in the table and ranked 13th in the table after 28 game days.
Last season, home games in particular were tough fare for fans of offensive football. In 14 home games, the canaries scored just eleven goals. However, those eleven goals were enough to win six games. However, Nantes was empty-handed six times at home.
This season, the Gourcuff-Elf did not have to accept a single home defeat. The games against Nimes and Stade Brest were won, in the game against AS Saint-Etienne Nantes reached a draw. In contrast to last year, Nantes is much more accurate and has already celebrated seven goals in the home stadium. For at least one goal by both teams, lucrative odds are offered in the duel between Nantes and PSG.
Fluctuations in performance will also be the order of the day at Nantes this season. With the exception of the back four, Nantes has a largely very young team, with many exciting talents. But the old hands will not be available for the home game on Saturday. Left-back Fabio, defender Girotto and right-back Corchia tested positive this week, and captain Nicola Pallois is also suspended. These failures make a surprise even less likely.
PSG:
It seems that the Paris Saint-Germain engine has had some teething problems this season. In the domestic championship, the Tuchel-Elf had to cope with two 0-1 defeats at the beginning and the public pressure on Thomas Tuchel increased significantly. Renewed criticism came after there was a defeat at the start of the Champions League group stage against Manchester United.
The team was able to eradicate both the false start in the domestic championship and in the premier class. After the two defeats in the league, PSG presented themselves as strong as a bear and have won all of the last six games. Neymar & Co celebrated significant successes, no less than 20 goals were scored, compared to only one goal against.
The team also showed a reaction in the premier class and thanks to Everton loan Moise Kean the French champions celebrated a deserved 2-0 away win at Champions League debutant Basaksehir.
The only downer was the injury-related replacement of superstar Neymar in the first round. As it turned out on Thursday, the Brazilian will miss the rest of the games before the upcoming international break. With this, Thomas Tuchel also has to struggle with some staff absent. In addition to Neymar, Mauro Icardi, Julian Draxler, Marco Verratti, Leandro Paredes and Juan Bernat will not be available.
In contrast to Nantes, however, PSG have a balanced squad that can easily compensate for these failures. In view of the convincing performances in recent weeks, the prediction of the favorites between Nantes and PSG is the logical choice.
