LiontipsPSG vs Nantes. Prediction and Betting Tips for Ligue 1
Command Analysis
PSG managed to put an end to their three-game losing streak in all competitions. Parisians lost to Bayern in the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16 (0:1), to Monaco (1:3) in Ligue 1 and to Marseille (1:2) in Coupe de France. One week ago, PSG managed to beat Marseille in Ligue 1 (3:0). Christophe Galtier's men also earned a narrow victory over Lille (4:3). Leo Messi scored the decisive goal in final minutes of the game.
After these victories, PSG have an eight-point lead over 2nd-placed Marseille. Galtier's men are feeling themselves more and more comfortable at the top of the standings, so they can concentrate on the Champions League.
Nantes also played in European competition recently. But unlike PSG, visitors already played both of their matches against Juventus (0:0 and 0:1). But schedule didn't become any easier for the Canaries. They secured a 2:1 victory over Lens in a recent mid-week Coupe de France fixture. However, Antoine Kombouare's men are not so successful in Ligue 1 - they suffered defeats to Rennes (0:1) and Lens (1:3).
Despite these results, club is still at the 13th position in the standings with 28 points to their name, but now the visitors are closer to the relegation zone. Kombouare's men are weak on the offense - they scored only 25 goals in 25 matches.

Tip and bets
We are expecting goals from both teams here. PSG have a Champions League game against Bayern in mind, which will take place in a few days. Parisians will probably field some reserve players for the match against Nantes. Galtier's men are far from perfect on defense even in their strongest line-up, so they are unlikely to keep a clean sheet. Nantes will probably concede as well, because it is a sixth game for the team in space of three weeks, so players must be tired.
Our prediction - both teams to score
We are not expecting a surprise from Nantes today. Even without their key players PSG should defeat the Canaries without any problems. Kombouare's men are close to relegation zone, they are in a poor form now, plus PSG are more successful in head-to-head matches.
Our second bet - Asian handicap (-1.5) on PSG
