Scorching-hot league leaders PSG take to the field to host ninth-place Nantes to close out Saturday’s Ligue 1 action. Despite being reduced to 10-men in the first 10 minutes of play due to a Donnarumma red card, the Parisians were still able to grind out a 2-0 away victory. The win was the seventh in a row in Ligue 1 for PSG who are also riding a nine game league unbeaten run. With the amount of attacking talent that the hosts possess, it isn’t too much of a surprise to see them topping the goalscoring leaderboards with 36 in their 14 games. PSG have impressed with how dominant they have been on this current unbeaten domestic run as they have notched six clean sheets and outscored the opposition 26-5 over the nine match span. This match immediately precedes a vital Champions League away fixture against Dortmund which can see PSG either secure their spot in the round of 16 or finish third.

After managing just four wins from the first 13 Ligue 1 fixtures, Nantes opted for a manager change. While some may have viewed it as a premature sacking, Jocelyn Gourvennec came good on his first match in charge. The former Nantes player, now lining up on the touchline as its manager, led Les Canaris to a 1-0 home victory over second-place Nice last weekend. It was a fine performance from the team who stood firm at the back and withstood the Nice attack despite holding just 38% of the possession. They’ll now face a monumental challenge if they are to be the ones to put a stop to PSG’s Ligue 1 winning streak. Nantes have broken into the top half with the win over Nice, pulling their total up to 18 points and placing them six points off the top five.
