On Wednesday night Ligue One champions PSG have the chance to move eight points clear at the top of the French top-flight table when the Parisians host Nantes at the Parc des Princes.
Thomas Tuchel’s team are in their now usual position at the top of Ligue One. The Parisians recorded a 2-0 home win over Lille in their last league game, which means they have won six of their last seven outings in the French top-flight.
Unsurprisingly, considering their attacking exploits in recent seasons, PSG have a strong recent record in attack, as they have scored at least twice in five of their last six league outings.
The team from the French capital have been tough opponents on home soil, as is expected of such a dominant team in any league. In fact, they have won seven of their last eight league games at the Parc des Princes.
Although PSG are famed for their attacking play, it is their defensive work that has impressed of late in home games, as Tuchel’s team have kept clean sheets in seven of their last eight matches.
Nantes head into this clash just a point off third spot and the final Champions League spot in Ligue One. However, their form has slipped of late, with just one win in their last six league games.
The visitors have arrested their bad form in the last few league outings by taking four points from a possible six, last time out beating Toulouse 2-1.
If the visitors are to challenge for a European spot this season in Ligue One, then their away form must improve, as Nantes have won just two of their last nine games on their travels.
Forebet predicts that PSG will record a victory in a low-scoring clash to stretch their lead at the top of Ligue One.
