Authors of several rather dismal performances at the start of the season, the Nantes team had not really reassured their supporters during the first weeks of competition. Indeed, the Canaries have won only one of their first 6 games in Ligue 1 and even remained on 3 losses conceded against Lille (2-0), Nice (2-1) and Angers (1-2). But during their last match, Christian Gourcuff’s men took a breath of fresh air by winning in front of Brest (3-1). Last week, they were unable to receive Lens due to a large number of Covid cases in the Sang et Or locker room.
For its part, PSG had to refocus on Ligue 1 after a final 8 of the Champions League ended on the disappointment of a defeat in the final against Bayern Munich (1-0). In the hard afterwards with two defeats conceded against Lens (1-0) and Marseille (0-1), the Ile-de-France residents then took full advantage in Ligue 1 by winning their next 6 matches, the last of which against Angers (6- 1), Nîmes (0-4) and Dijon (4-0). On the other hand, they started their European campaign badly by losing at home against Manchester United (1-2). Forced to react, Thomas Tuchel’s men go to the Istanbul Basaksehir field on Wednesday evening.
The workforce for Nantes vs PSG
Nantes must deal with the absence of the potential holder Limbombe who is injured. Additionally, Corchia, Coulibaly, Girotto and Fabio have all tested positive for Covid. Once again, it is the young Blas and Louza (2 goals each) who could have the keys to the Canaries’ offensive game in this part. Recruited at the end of the transfer window, the former PSG Augustin could make his debut.
As during his trip to Istanbul, PSG will be deprived of the holders Bernat, Paredes, Verratti and Icardi and the non-essential Draxler, Jese and Kehrer. Highly requested for a few meetings, the star Neymar could be left to rest in this match. Established at the forefront of the attack against Dijon, the Italian striker Kean scored his first 2 goals under the Parisian colours.
The probable compositions for Nantes vs PSG:
Nantes: Lafont – Mendy, Castelletto, Pallois, Traoré – Abeid, Chirivella – Blas, Louza, Simon – Kolo Muani.
PSG: Navas – Florenzi, Danilo, Kimpembe, Kurzawa – Herrera, Marquinhos, Gueye – Di Maria, Kean, Mbappé.
