Paris FC will entertain Nantes at the Stade Jean-Bouin in Ligue 1 on Friday. The visitors have won just one of their eight league games thus far, while the capital club have three wins to their name.
The hosts saw their unbeaten streak end after two games last week as they resumed their league campaign after the international break with a 2-1 away defeat to Lens. Pierre Lees-Melou had equalized in the 27th minute, and Samson Baidoo bagged a 64th-minute winner for Lens.
Les Canaris suffered a defeat after three consecutive draws on Sunday as they lost 2-0 at home to Lille. They failed to score for the second match in a row.

Paris FC vs Nantes Prediction
Les Bleus have scored at least one goal in each of their league games since their loss in the campaign opener against Angers, and will look to continue their goalscoring form here. Notably, their only win against La Maison Jaune has been registered away from home.
Sofiane Alakouch, Julien Lopez, and Nhoa Sangui will miss this match due to injuries. Mathieu Cafaro and Pierre-Yves Hamel should return to the squad but will likely start from the bench.
Les Canaris are winless in their last five games, failing to score in three. Their winless away record this season is a cause for concern.
Francis Coquelin, Johann Lepenant, and Mickayl Lahdo continue to be sidelined for the visitors.
The visitors have endured a poor run of form recently, and considering the home advantage for the capital club, we back Les Bleus to eke out a narrow win.
