The Matchday 9 clash in Ligue 1 between Paris and Nantes will take place on October 24 at the Charlety Stadium. Paris vs. Nantes: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Paris
Stefan Gilli's side visited Lens in the last round and suffered a 1-2 defeat. Before that, the Parisians were unbeaten in two consecutive league matches, drawing away with Nice (1-1) and defeating Lorient (2-0) at home. The club is having a decent first season in Ligue 1 this century, sitting near the middle of the table with a four-point cushion over the relegation zone.
- Exactly two or three goals have been scored in 4 of Paris's last 5 league games.
- Both teams have scored in 6 of the team's last 7 Ligue 1 matches.
- The capital club has played three home matches in France's top division, scoring at least two goals in each.
Predicted lineup for Paris (4-3-3)
Obe Nkambadio – Samir Chergui, Otavio, Amari Traore, Thibaut De Smet – Adama Camara, Maxime Lopez, Pierre Le-Melu – Moses Simon, Ilan Kebbal, Jean-Philippe Krasso.
Nantes
The team has not tasted victory in the league for five consecutive matches. During this period, Luis Castro's side drew three times and suffered goalless defeats against Nice (0-1) and Lille (0-2). They have only one win this season, achieved in late summer against Auxerre (1-0). Nantes is positioned close to the relegation zone. Notably, the team has scored only five goals, with only Angers having a worse attacking record (4 goals).
- The club has not won in 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.
- No more than two goals have been scored in 6 of the club's last 8 Ligue 1 matches.

Paris vs. Nantes: Match Prediction
The capital club can be satisfied with their Ligue 1 participation so far. They have only faltered in one match, losing heavily away to Marseille. In other matches, they have either picked up points or lost by a single goal margin. I believe that the hosts will secure all three points in the upcoming encounter.
Paris has performed well at home, winning 2 of their 3 league matches, scoring at least two goals in each home game. Meanwhile, 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, in their last 19 away league matches, Nantes has managed only 2 wins (7 draws and 10 losses).
My prediction – Paris victory
