Nimes – PSG, Prediction – Ligue 1

⬆️ Nimes has been improving lately

Nimes is a team that was expected to fight for its survival before the start of the season and this is likely to happen, but Nimes shows that he can be quite a tough opponent when he has a day. This is exactly what happened in the last round in which Nimes defeated Montpellier. Montpellier started the season very strongly and scored plenty of goals, but lost the last round 0-1 at home. Nimes is the typical team that can play with a low block and cope well with counter-attacks. At paper, this is good against PSG, but the Parisian class may be too serious for the hosts.

💹 After the nightmarish start, PSG showed its class and recorded 4 consecutive victories

PSG had a rather poor start with two 0-1 losses, one of which was from the big enemy, Marseille. Of course, at that time the Parisians were not yet in their full squad and had many first team players who were not available for the matches. After the two losses came 4 wins with 12 goals scored and 1 goal conceded. Many of PSG’s players have been with their national teams in the last 10 days, so this may also have an impact, but PSG have an important match in the Champions League next week, so we expect them to show the familiar form very soon.

The champions will try to show the best of themselves

 Expert view: PSG have important matches in the coming weeks and Tuchel wants his boys fully mobilized. Nimes is a team that can stop PSG in some aspects of the game, but if Mbappe and Neymar play, as happened against Dijon in the last round, then Nimes simply has nothing to do. We expect exactly this to happen and to see at least one goal from the French champions in both halves. Prediction – PSG to score in both halves at 1.66.
