This Friday, Paris will host Nantes at the Stade Charléty for a Ligue 1 match on matchday 9. Here’s a look at what to expect from this game.
Match Preview
Nantes, newly promoted this season, have managed to stay in the middle of the standings. Although they lost to Lens in their last match, they have shown determination, particularly at home. Paris tends to have matches where both teams score, and they regularly hit at least two goals in home games.
The Paris side plays an aggressive style, effectively using the wings. They have a better conversion rate than Nantes and are known for high energy at home. It’s rare for visiting teams to leave Charléty without conceding a goal.
On the other hand, Nantes is facing challenges, having not won in their last five matches. With only five goals across eight games, they have one of the weakest attacks in the league. Their away form is concerning, as they have gone winless in six games.
With poor finishing and a shaky defense, Nantes find it difficult to earn points. Their matches often don’t see many goals, with one team usually finishing without scoring. The visitors aim for organized play but struggle to threaten a more organized Paris team.
Probable Lineups
- Paris: N’Kambadio, Chergui, Otavio, Traoré, De Smet, Camara, Lopez, Le-Melou, Simon, Kebbal, Krasso
- Nantes: Lopes, Tait, Awaziem, Amian, Haec Kyoo, Mwanga, Assoumani, Leroux, Abline, Guirassy, Mohamed
Match Facts and Head-to-Head
- Paris has scored at least two goals in their last three home Ligue 1 matches.

Prediction
Given their strong home performances, Paris appears to be in a good position against teams lower in the table. Conversely, Nantes struggles in attack and has difficulty earning points on the road, making them the weaker team in this matchup.
