- Date: Wednesday, 22nd April, 2026
- Kickoff: 18:00 UK / 19:00 CEST
- Venue: Parc des Princes (Paris)
On Wednesday evening, there will be only one Ligue 1 match scheduled. That will be the match between PSG and Nantes, originally scheduled for April 20th, but postponed to give PSG some extra rest before their Champions League 1/8 Finals. PSG comes to the game after losing their last match 2:1 to Lyon, stopping their six-game winning streak. Meanwhile, Nantes are desperately trying to end its six-game winless streak and move closer to the safe zone.
Let's break down the game and find the best possible bet for this Ligue 1 tie.

In the first H2H game this season, PSG won 1:0, dominating and allowing no shots on goal from Nantes. Looking further back, over the past ten H2H games, PSG have won seven and Nantes one.
When it comes to the number of goals, surprisingly, the past four H2H games ended with fewer than three goals. Meanwhile, both teams scored in two of the past four H2H encounters.
PSG team overview
PSG were awesome last season but have been criticized for not being on that level this year. However, as the season progressed, the Parisians only looked better and better. Yes, they will not be able to repeat treble, as they were unexpectedly eliminated from the Coupe de France by Paris FC, but they are doing well in other competitions. In Ligue 1, after losing their last game against Lyon, they have a one-point advantage over Lens, but with one game played less. And we have to add that they rotated the squad for the Lyon match. With a potential win here, they would create a four-point gap over Lens. In the Champions League, the Parisians weren't great in the league stage but improved in the knockout rounds, eliminating Monaco, Chelsea, and Liverpool.
In the previous game against Lyon, Vitinha suffered an injury and had to leave the field after 39 minutes. The 26-year-old has been amazing this season, and the club will surely try to rest him to ensure he recovers in time for the Champions League duel with Bayern Munich. Additionally, Nuno Mendes and Quentin Ndjantou should remain sidelined with their injuries. But on the positive side, Fabian Ruiz recovered from his injury and played limited minutes against Lyon.

Nantes team overview
Nantes have been among the worst teams in Ligue 1 for the past three years, winning between 33 and 36 points. However, they managed to survive somehow. This year, they are once again among the relegation candidates, and it feels like it's time for them to take a trip to League 2. After 29 rounds, the Canaries are in 17th place with 20 points - five points away from the relegation play-off, but with one game played less. Considering the difficulty of their remaining schedule, we would be amazed if they avoid relegation.
In the previous game against Brest, midfielder Dehmaine Tabibou received a red card and will serve his suspension. Also, Fabien Centonze will serve his one-game suspension due to the accumulation of yellow cards. However, it seems he is injured and won't be ready anyway. Moreover, Kelvin Amian, who missed the previous games with an injury, should also remain sidelined.

Prediction
PSG have been great defensively in recent games. Yes, they conceded two goals against Lyon in the previous match, but before that game, they had conceded only one goal in five games across competitions. Also, throughout the season, PSG have been really good defensively, especially at home, where they kept their net intact in 64% of their Ligue 1 games.
On the other hand, Nantes were atrocious offensively, scoring 25 goals in 29 Ligue 1 rounds. They are one of the only five teams that average less than one goal per game. Moreover, the Canaries failed to score in three consecutive road matches, and we would be amazed if they scored against PSG at Parc des Princes.
Considering all the above, we believe that the BTTS - NO bet to score is the safest option for this Ligue 1 tie.
4 Reasons why at least one of the teams should fail to score
- PSG kept their net intact in 64% of their home Ligue 1 games
- Nantes averages 0.86 goals per game in Ligue 1
- Nantes failed to score in the last three road matches
- PSG won the first H2H game this season 1:0
