PSG vs Nantes prediction, preview, team news and more | Ligue 1 2021-22

PSG are back in action with another important Ligue 1 fixture after November's international break as they take on Nantes on Saturday. PSG have impressive players in their ranks and hold the upper hand going into this game.

Nantes are in 10th place in the Ligue 1 standings and have been inconsistent this season. The away side played out a 2-2 draw against Strasbourg earlier this month and will need to step up this weekend.

PSG, on the other hand, hold a 10-point lead at the top of the league table and are the favourites to win the Ligue 1 title this season. The Parisians edged Bordeaux to an important 3-2 victory in their previous game and will be confident going into this match.

PSG vs Nantes Head-to-Head

The previous meeting between the two French sides took place in March this year and ended in a shock 2-1 victory for Nantes. PSG were poor on the day and have a point to prove on Saturday.
