PSG’s title defence will continue on Wednesday when they host relegation threatened Nimes in the 23rd round of Ligue 1 matches. The champions go to this game placed third in the Ligue 1 standings with 45 points while Nimes are bottom, with 15 points. As PSG fight to retain their league title, this will go down as a very challenging season for the Parisians. They suffered a 3-2 loss to lowly Lorient on Sunday, dropping from top to third. A return to winning ways is crucial for their confidence at this point, with crunch matches coming up. That loss was PSG’s second in 10 matches and they have failed to score in just two of their last 10 matches. It was their fifth loss in Ligue 1 this season, two more than they lost last season, and equaling their losses in 38 matches in 2019, when they won the title. At home, PSG have four straight wins in the league and all these have come with clean sheets. PSG have scored 13 goals in the last four league matches at home and lost two of the last 11 home league matches.

Nimes are in a much worse position, having lost four of the last five matches and with just four wins all season in Ligue 1. They have the worst defence in the league so far, after conceding 44 goals. Out of the last 15 matches, Nimes have failed to keep clean sheets in 10 and have lost 12. They have also failed to score in six of the last 10 matches and conceded two or more goals in 11 of the last 15 matches. Ahead of this clash, Nimes lost away to Angers SCO 3-1. The loss came right after the team had revived survival hopes with a win over Olympique Marseille, leaving Nimes three points below the safety zone. Out of the 11 away matches they have played this season, Nimes have managed to win just three.
