PSG will continue with their quest for a treble when they travel to Nantes next, for a Match Week 22 Ligue 1 game. Heading into this game, PSG are top of the standings while Nantes are a distant 12th. Nantes will come into this game seeking to build on their win over Toulouse last time out. Goals either side of halftime from Mostafa Mohamed and Tino Kadewere earned Nantes their first win in five matches. They had earlier lost three of four and will hope to keep the momentum here. in three of their last four matches, Nantes failed to score, a trend they’ll hope to avoid against PSG. At the same time, the hosts will seek to improve on their run of just one clean sheet in nine matches. The last time they faced PSG, the champions needed a late winner to bag a 2-1 victory. Former Nantes man Randal Kolo Muani returned to punish them with PSG’s winner late in that game. Kolo Muani is a prolific scorer in this fixture; that was his fourth goal in seven meetings between these teams. Apart from Kolo Muani, Nantes will be worried about their home form, having lost each of their last four home games. They also failed to score in three of their last four home matches.

PSG have bagged 50 points from their 21 matches so far, giving them an 11-point gap at the top of Ligue 1. They are coming from a key win in the Champions League, beating Spanish side Real Sociedad 2-0 at home. The French giants have no time to celebrate their first leg, knockout round win. Their focus is now fixated on three points that would widen the gap ahead of the chasing pack led by Nice. A 3-1 win over Lille in their last Ligue 1 game proved vital on a weekend Nice failed to win a second straight league game. Les Parisiens are once again reaping from Kylian Mbappe’s rich form coming into this game. The French forward has three goals in his last three matches, and four in three of PSG’s last five league matches. Against Nantes, Mbappe has four goals in the last six meetings. In each of the last four meetings between these teams, PSG emerged winners. Les Rouge et Bleu come into this game unbeaten in eight away matches, having won six.
