- Venue: Stade de la Beaujoire (Nantes)
In the last two seasons, Nantes finished 14th and 16th and were super close to being relegated. This season, they are on pace for a similar finish. Right now, the popular Canaries are in 13th place, a comfortable six points away from direct relegation. However, they are also just three points away from relegation playoff but with one game played less than 16th-placed Le Havre. So, they will have a massive motive in these remaining five games. Luckily for them, after the PSG match, they will face only teams from the bottom half of the league's table - Toulouse, Angers, Auxerre, and Montpellier. We can safely say their chances of avoiding the relegation playout are strong.
PSG are dominating the French league, and this season is no exception. The Parisians already secured the title, their 11th in the last 13 years! Thus far, PSG have won 77 points in 29 rounds and are an incredible 24 points away from second-placed Monaco. Now, the Parisians are primarily focused on the Champions League, where they will face Arsenal in the Semi-Finals, and the domestic Cup, where they will play vs Reims. So, this season has the potential to be their best in the 54-year-old history.
Nantes vs PSG pick: Over 3.5 goals
Nantes played mostly high-scoring games, as their last three finished over 2.5 goals, with one of them finishing over 3.5 goals. Also, they have been pretty good offensively, scoring at least one goal in the last four matches, and we believe they could score at least once against a motiveless PSG team.
PSG are the best team in the league for this bet, with 55% of their games finishing with four or more goals. But, away from home, they have been fantastic for this bet as they went over 3.5 goals in six of the last seven games in all competitions. Of course, the main reason for that is their incredible offensive display, and even if they rotate the squad, they are more than capable of scoring three or four goals on their own.
Considering all the above, especially PSG's constant high-scoring games away from home and their fantastic offense, we believe we should see at least four goals in this Ligue 1 tie.

In the previous game against Rennes, their first-choice goalkeeper, Anthony Lopes, and attacking winger Sorba Thomas suffered injury and had to leave the field in the first half. Besides those two, Marcus Coco received a red card in the Rennes match and will be suspended for PSG.
In addition to the trio we mentioned, the players who missed the previous games with injuries should remain sidelined: Fabien Centonze, Francis Coquelin, Sekou Doucoure, and Adel Mahamoud.

PSG team news
In the previous game against Le Havre, coach Luis Henrique rotated the squad and will probably do the same for the rest of the Ligue 1 games. However, they have a deep team, and that will not affect them too much result-wise.
Also, Ousmane Dembele and Willian Pacho missed the previous game against Le Havre but should be ready for the Nantes match. Dembele was given rest, while Pacho missed the match due to illness.
