Perennial Ligue 1 winners will be returning to league action this weekend, aiming to reach the top of the standings soon enough. Surviving an early scare, where they lost their first two games, Les Parisiens have now regained their footing.

The likes of Neymar, Mbappe and di Maria are back in the squad, and firing on all cylinders. In truth, the mood around the dressing room couldn’t be better. Expect a strong showing from PSG here, as they target a fifth successive league win.

Nimes vs PSG Team News

With kickoff drawing closer, Nimes will be scared shitless at the prospect of taking on this magnificent PSG side on Friday. Comparing squad talent, Les Crocodiles do not come any close to this opposition, and are seriously lacking in confidence.

Arpinon’s men were the subject of ridicule last season, scuffling to retain their top-flight status. Escaping relegation by a hair’s breadth, Nimes finished 18^th on the standings, just four points clear of the drop-zone. They can count themselves extremely lucky to have dodged that relegation bullet.

This term, their ambition is pretty clear – achieving a more respectable league table finish. Props to the Crocodiles for their flying start to the season, picking up eight points so far. Last seen in action against Montpellier, Nimes sprung a bolt out of the blue to register an unlikely win over this bogey team.

Though second-best throughout the game, a late devastating counterattack saw Nimes’ Ripart break through the opposition’s defense, harrowing the ball into the back of the net to clinch maximum points for his side. This matchday, PSG will pose a different, more tricky challenge for them.

Thomas Tuchel has built a well-oiled PSG machine, operating at maximum efficiency. They have proven to be world-beaters, advancing to the final of the previous Champions League campaign, before being narrowly denied success by Bayern Munich.

Despite that defeat, their quality was bare for everyone to see. Sure-fire favorites to retain the Ligue 1 title this term, PSG are unlikely to be upstaged by any side in the pack. Rennes and Lille will surely prove a thorn in their flesh, but do not have enough quality to knock Les Parisiens off their perch.

Turning Angers inside out on the last matchday, PSG put a whopping six goals past Bernardoni in goal. As the goals kept flying in, one could feel nothing but empathy for the sinking side. High on confidence, the Red and Blues will be hoping to grab a couple more goals in this upcoming contest.

Injured or Suspended Players

Nimes: Clement Depres and Zinedine Ferhat.

PSG: Juan Bernat, Thilo Kehrer, Layvin Kurzawa and Angel di Maria.

Nimes vs Paris SG Predictions

No thanks to the international break, a plethora of PSG’s finest players will likely sit this one out, giving Nimes a glimmer of hope. That said, Les Parisiens have a decent squad depth, and are unlikely to be massively affected by this development.

While it will be suicidal for anyone to wager a flurry of goals for PSG, the visitors remain favorites, and are expected to clinch maximum points comfortably. For the goal market, feel free to back Les Parisiens to score no more than two goals here.
