Preview: Paris Saint-German vs. Nantes

Paris Saint-Germain have the task of recovering from their midweek failure and moving to the top of the Ligue 1 table when they take on Nantes at Parc des Princes on Saturday.

Last night, Laurent Blanc's side were denied the chance to move above Marseille after being restricted to a 1-1 draw with Lille.

However, with just one point separating themselves and the leaders, PSG could claim the top spot with a victory this weekend.

Nantes sit seventh in the league standings, but they reside 10 points behind Saturday's competitors after recording two straight defeats after an impressive run of form.

The team went nine games unbeaten in Ligue 1 but in recent weeks they appear to have stumbled, and their record against PSG isn't very pleasant as they have lost their last three meetings.

PSG are unlikely to be able to call on Zlatan Ibrahimovic due to injury, while Johan Audel and Itay Shechter could provide the attacking threat for the visitors.
