Paris FC vs Nantes prediction: FRANCE: Ligue 1 betting tips on match 2025-10-23 18:45.
[p]Newly-promoted Paris FC are striving for consistency when they host strugglers Nantes in a first league H2H in over 45 years.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Paris FC have produced a mixed bag of results since returning to Ligue 1 (W3, D1, L4), but can take heart from three of those defeats coming against sides currently inside the top four, including their 2-1 reverse to Lens last week. Extra importance therefore falls on this fixture given that they face three of the pre-round top seven in their next four matches, and Paris should be confident of a good result on home soil where they’ve won two of their three games this term (L1), scoring 2+ goals in all three outings.[/p]
[p]After three successive bottom-half finishes that have seen them flirt with relegation, Nantes fans may be fearful of finally falling through the trapdoor after their joint-worst eight-game start to a Ligue 1 (W1, D3, L4) since returning to the top-flight in 2013/14. A 2-0 loss to Lille last week stretched their current winless run to five matches (D3, L2), and LuĂs Castro’s men appear unlikely to get back on the winning trail here given that they’ve won just three Ligue 1 away matches since the start of last season (D8, L10), failing to score in three of their four such games this term (D2, L2).[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]This will be the first league H2H since 1978/79, with Nantes winning all six prior matches in Ligue 1. They also ran out emphatic 8-0 winners in the last meeting in any competition, which came in the Coupe de la Ligue in 2019/20.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Only Angers (7) have conceded first in more Ligue 1 games than Paris FC (6) this season.[/p]
[p]Four of Paris FC’s last five home wins have been accompanied by a clean sheet.[/p]
[p]Nantes are one of two sides yet to concede a Ligue 1 away goal before half-time this season.[/p]
[p]None of Nantes’ last eight away games were decided by more than a single-goal margin.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Paris’ Ilan Kebbal has been involved in seven goals in eight matches this season (G4, A3), with three of his four goals coming in home wins. Matthis Abline is yet to open his scoring account for the season, but his best chance could be early here since four of his last five Nantes goals arrived before half-time.[/p]
[p]Paris look set to be without Julien LĂłpez and Mathieu Cafaro, while Nantes are missing Francis Coquelin and Johann Lepenant.[/p]
