Analysis of the match between Nantes and PSG
Just ahead of their clash with Nantes, PSG enjoyed the perfect warm-up for the new season by staging a dramatic comeback victory over Tottenham in the 2025 UEFA Super Cup. Despite trailing by two goals until the 85th minute, Luis Enrique’s side fought back and ultimately defeated the English club in a thrilling penalty shootout.
Buoyed by the confidence of adding yet another trophy to their cabinet, PSG have every reason to approach their trip to Nantes with high expectations. While it’s true that Nantes managed to hold PSG to two 1–1 draws in Ligue 1 last season, the reality remains that they are outclassed by the reigning champions in virtually every aspect.
It’s worth noting that Nantes had to battle for survival until the final round of the previous campaign, narrowly avoiding relegation. In stark contrast, PSG not only retained their Ligue 1 title but also finished a massive 19 points ahead of second-placed Marseille (84 vs 65 points). The Parisian giants also lifted the Coupe de France and were crowned champions of the 2024/25 UEFA Champions League.
In terms of current form, Nantes are coming off four consecutive losses in pre-season friendlies — a worrying sign when compared to PSG, who recently finished as runners-up at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. Hosting a PSG side loaded with quality and depth, Nantes will find it difficult to overcome the odds. Another defeat would mark their 11th loss in the last 14 home encounters with PSG.
Most notably, since 2006, Nantes have faced PSG 29 times without registering a single clean sheet — a statistic that underscores their long-standing struggles against the French champions.
