Nantes
Paris Saint-Germain
On Tuesday, April 22, 2025, the Stade de la Beaujoire in Nantes will host a Ligue 1 Round 29 match where local side Nantes will take on the reigning French champions, Paris Saint-Germain. The game is scheduled to kick off at 20:45 Central European Time. I propose considering a bet on one of the teams scoring in this encounter.
Nantes
Nantes has shown inconsistent results throughout this season. After 29 matches, the team is in 13th place in the Ligue 1 standings with 30 points. They are only 3 points above the relegation zone. In the last five games, Nantes has secured two victories but has also suffered three defeats.
In their most recent league match, Nantes lost to Rennes away with a score of 2-1. In their last home game at their stadium, they claimed a 1-0 victory over Lille.
It's important to note that in the last six head-to-head meetings with Paris Saint-Germain, Nantes has not managed to secure a win. Out of these matches, the team lost five times and drew once — this happened in the first round of the current championship when they played 1-1 away.
Additionally, ahead of this match, Nantes faces personnel issues. Several key players will be unable to help the team, which could significantly impact the game's outcome.
PSG
Paris Saint-Germain continues to dominate Ligue 1 and currently tops the standings with 77 points after 29 matches. This season, the team has delivered impressive results: the league's best attack with 82 goals scored and the best defense with 27 goals conceded.
PSG maintains an unbeaten record in the league. The team has not suffered a single defeat in Ligue 1 so far, reaffirming their champion status. The only recent loss was in the Champions League against Aston Villa, 3-2 in the quarter-finals, but this defeat did not prevent the Parisians from advancing to the semi-finals on aggregate.
In the last round of Ligue 1, PSG defeated Le Havre at home with a score of 2-1, despite fielding several reserves in the starting lineup. This underscores the squad's depth and the team's ability to adapt to different situations.

Match prediction Nantes vs PSG
An exciting and tense clash is expected in the upcoming match. Although PSG has already secured their champion status, one should not expect the team to play for a loss, as they still aim to maintain their unbeaten record in the league. Nantes, on the other hand, is desperately fighting for survival, and this match presents an opportunity to capitalize on the opponent's potentially weakened motivation. Considering that PSG might not field their strongest lineup and Nantes will be full of determination, the team has a real chance to make an impact. My bet for this match is on Nantes to score with odds of 1.53.
