After narrowly missing out on relegation last season, Nantes will not have a good start to the season, facing the defending champions. The Yellow House finished the season 13th on the table with 36 points in 34 games, scoring 39 goals and conceding 52. They were just three points off the drop zone, and I don’t think they have all it takes to fight this season. The Canaries started their preseason friendlies with a 2-0 win over Laval, but they lost their subsequent four friendly encounters.
Nantes: Team News and Injury Report
Despite speculations linking Matthis Abline out of this club, I still expect the striker to begin the season with Nantes. He was left out of the squad in their last preseason game, and his future remains uncertain. The team will be without Mathieu Acapandie and Mayckel Lahdo due to injuries.
🔖 Nantes possible starting lineup (4-3-3)
Goalkeeper – Anthony Lopes
Defenders – Kelvin Amian, Chidozie Awaziem, Tylel Tati, Nicolas Cozza
Midfielders – Louis Leroux, Johann Lepenant, Hyeok-Kyu Kwon
Attackers – Yassine Benhattab, Matthis Abline, Bahereba Guirassy
⛔️ Out: Mathieu Acapandie (injury), Mayckel Lahdo (thigh injury).

PSG: form and statistics
During the midweek, PSG added the UEFA Super Cup to their trophy room, which was their first in history. Prior to that, they had a very eventful 2024/25 season, winning a treble. They had a good run in the FIFA Club World Cup in the United States, making it to the final. While they didn’t get much postseason rest, their display during the UEFA Super Cup shows they are ready for another season as they look to win their fifth straight Ligue 1 title for the first time in their history.
PSG: Team News and Injury Report
The Parisians will be without Joao Neves, with the 20-year-old midfielder expected to serve his second match suspension after his red card incident against Chelsea in the FIFA Club World Cup final. Gianluigi Donnarumma's future with PSG is over, and this has given room for Lucas Chevalier to debut against Tottenham. The former Lille goalie is expected to retain his spot in between the sticks. Nordi Mukiele, Bradley Barcola, and Senny Mayulu are all ruled out of this game due to injuries.

Nantes vs PSG match prediction, 17 August 2025
PSG failed to pick up a win over Nantes last season, but I don’t expect that run to last. The defending champions are fully fit and won’t afford to leave any stone unturned to have a good start to the season. The Parisians are unbeaten in 40 of their last 41 games in the league, whereas Nantes have failed to secure a win over PSG in their last five attempts. However, I expect both sides to score.
