Struggling Nantes will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Paris Saint Germain in the upcoming league round. It’s 15th vs 1st and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
Paris Saint Germain could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Champions League game only three sleeps ago. That game, against Istanbul Basaksehir, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Paris Saint Germain.
Nantes form and stats
Seven points from three Ligue 1 home games is a great start for Nantes, who are hoping to build on that form here at Stade de la Beaujoire - Louis Fonteneau.
A nice win for Nantes last time playing, versus Brest. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-1 with Ludovic Blas, Abdoul Kader Bamba and Randal Kolo Muani scoring for the victors. Heartbreak before that as Nantes lost 0-2 at Lille's place.
Nantes's victory against Brest could easily have been with a bigger margin than 3-1 as they hit the posts three times.

It's the second away game in a row for Paris Saint Germain, but there's smiles all around after the 2-0 victory versus Istanbul Basaksehir in the Champions League last time out. A home win before that, celebrating 4-0 vs Dijon.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Paris manager T. Tuchel as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against RB Leipzig.
