Nantes host Paris FC in a Ligue 2 clash with both sides showing contrasting forms. As Les Canaris have turned their Stade de la Beaujoire into a real fortress, we predict a 3-1 home win. Nantes have struggled at home this season, earning just 0.4 points per game, and have failed to keep a clean sheet in their home fixtures. However, they’ve averaged 3.4 goals per game at home, highlighting attacking potential despite defensive fragility. BTTS has featured in 80% of their home matches, suggesting Nantes are vulnerable at the back but capable of finding the net themselves.
Paris FC have been stronger on the road, averaging 1.67 points per away match, and boast a decent defensive record with 67% clean sheets away from home. Key forward Alimani Gory is sidelined, which may reduce their attacking threat, but the newcomers remain resilient, having recently secured a historic win over PSG in the Coupe de France. The fact that important Paris FC forward Jonathan Ikone is back to the starting XI supports our betting prediction.
Historically, Nantes dominate the H2H with 2 wins from 2 matches, and both previous encounters produced over 2.5 goals, indicating a likelihood of a high-scoring contest. Therefore, Over 2.5 and BTTS markets seem tempting, alongside Home Win as les Canaris are a real force to be reckoned with at home.
This Ligue 1 match will be played on Sunday 18 January 2026 at 16:15.
