PSG vs Nantes Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds
The table toppers eye solidifying their position with a win over Nantes in the upcoming game.
Amidst the timeless elegance of Paris, a city synonymous with romance, history and art, Matchweek 13 of the Ligue 1 fixtures takes us to the Parc des Princes Stadium in Paris where Paris Saint Germain (PSG) are set to lock horns against FC Nantes.
Paris Saint-Germain, currently leading the Ligue 1 standings, are eager to bounce back following a disappointing UEFA Champions League loss to Bayern Munich, where they were reduced to 10 men after Ousmane Dembélé received a red card in the 56th minute.
Despite this setback, PSG remain unbeaten in the domestic league and will aim to extend their streak while solidifying their top spot. With the advantage of playing at home, they are determined to secure all three points against Nantes in the upcoming fixture.
FC Nantes find themselves precariously positioned 16th in the Ligue 1 standings, teetering dangerously close to the relegation zone. Their recent form has been dismal, with no victories in their last five matches and four consecutive losses without earning a single point.
Desperate for a turnaround, Nantes will face an uphill battle against table-toppers Paris Saint-Germain in their next fixture. While a win might seem improbable, the team will be hoping to salvage at least a draw to halt their downward spiral and reignite their fading campaign.

Players to watch out for:
Bradley Barcola (PSG)
Bradley Laurent Barcola, the 22-year-old French center-forward began his illustrious football journey with Olympique Lyonnais, where he honed his skills in the club’s reserve teams before making his mark on the first team. In 2023, he made a high-profile move to Paris Saint-Germain, where he has since showcased his brilliance, amassing 37 appearances and netting 14 goals.
Barcola’s international career has been equally impressive. Earning his debut for the French national team, Les Bleus, he has already made 11 appearances and scored two pivotal goals. His first international goal came in a UEFA Nations League clash against Italy, followed by another against Israel.
A key member of PSG’s Ligue 1-winning squad last season, Barcola’s stellar contributions did not go unnoticed. In September 2024, he was deservedly crowned the UNFP Ligue 1 Player of the Month, cementing his reputation as one of France’s brightest footballing talents.
Douglas Augusto (Nantes)
Douglas Augusto, the dynamic Brazilian midfielder hailing from Rio de Janeiro, began his professional journey with Fluminense and Corinthians before making a significant move to PAOK in 2019. At PAOK, he played a pivotal role in their Greek Cup triumph in 2020.
In 2023, Augusto brought his talents to FC Nantes, where he has since made 24 appearances. A veteran of Brazil’s under-20 and under-23 squads, he brings experience and skill to his current team. As Nantes face turbulent times, Augusto will be pivotal in guiding his side through adversity, aiming to inspire a miraculous turnaround in their upcoming fixture against Paris Saint-Germain.
