Paris
Stefan Gilli's side visited Lens in the last round and suffered a 1-2 defeat. Prior to that, the Parisians were unbeaten in two consecutive league matches, drawing 1-1 away at Nice and defeating Lorient 2-0 at home. So far, the club is having a decent first season in Ligue 1 this century, sitting near the middle of the table and maintaining a four-point gap from the relegation zone.
- Exactly two or three goals were scored in 4 of Paris's last 5 league matches.
- Both teams scored in 6 of the last 7 Ligue 1 matches involving Paris.

Projected lineup for Paris (4-3-3)

Nantes
The team has not tasted victory in the league for five consecutive matches. During this period, Luis Castro's side has drawn three times and suffered defeats to Nice (0-1) and Lille (0-2) without scoring. The team has only one win to its name, achieved against Auxerre (1-0) at the end of summer. Nantes is positioned close to the relegation zone. Additionally, they have only scored five goals, with only Angers having a worse attacking record (four goals).
- The club has failed to win 7 of its last 8 Ligue 1 matches (3 draws and 4 losses).
- At least one team failed to score in 7 of Nantes's last 9 league games.

Paris vs. Nantes: Match Prediction
The capital club can be satisfied with its participation in Ligue 1 so far. They have only faltered in one match, a heavy defeat away to Marseille. In other matches, the club has either secured points or lost by just one goal. I believe that in the upcoming encounter, the hosts will take all three points.
Paris has been strong at home, winning 2 of their 3 league matches and scoring at least two goals in each home game. However, Nantes has been weak on the road, failing to win in their last six away matches in Ligue 1 (3 draws and 3 losses). Additionally, Nantes has only won 2 of their last 19 away league matches (7 draws and 10 losses).
My prediction – Paris to win
