Nantes and Paris are set to face off in a Ligue 1 relegation six-pointer this weekend. The Sunday match, hosted by Nantes, finds these two separated by two points, with Paris in 15th spot and Nantes sitting 16th. Let’s have a look at the match prediction.
Nantes spun a major upset to start their year as they beat Marseille 2-0 away in Ligue 1. However, they couldn’t follow through in their second game, a French Cup tie that ended in defeat on penalties after drawing 1-1 with Nice.
Having only failed to score once in five league matches, Nantes will be confident of bagging three points here. That would see the hosts rise out of the drop zone for at least this match week.
Paris FC will have their own motivations coming into this game. They aren’t just presented with an opportunity to open a gap from the bottom three but also boost their survival chances.
They will look at this match and feel they can go for the kill, coming fresh from defeating PSG in the French Cup. Jonathan Ikone came off the bench in the first half and, with 16 minutes to go, scored the goal that dumped out PSG.
In their two earlier competitive meetings with Nantes, though, Paris lost. The most recent was in October, Nantes winning 2-1.
