Paris Saint Germain Over 2.5 Teams Goals at 10/11 with Betfair
HEAD TO HEAD
Paris Saint Germain have won their last 11 matches against Nantes and haven’t lost since 2005. They have scored 30 goals in these 11 winning games.
REASON FOR PARIS SAINT GERMAIN VS NANTES BETTING TIPS
Paris Saint Germain’s incredible Ligue 1 season is finally drawing to a close. They looked like they were going to achieve a fabled unbeaten season at one point before Lyon halted their efforts, but by then it was far too late to stop them romping to a Ligue 1 title with months to spare.
Now, after their Champions League exit and ahead of their Coupe de France Final, they are just breaking as many record as possible. Their 4-0 win over Gazelec Ajaccio last weekend saw them surpass their own prior record of points accrued in a season, and the draw in Bordeaux in midweek saw that points tally increase again. A win on Saturday would take them to a huge 96 points, potentially 31 ahead of their nearest competitors Lyon.
Paris Saint Germain also have 98 goals to their name in Ligue 1 this season, and with Zlatan Ibrahimovic just four goals shy of the 40 goal mark you can be sure that the hosts won’t be stepping on the brakes on Saturday. I expect them to come out all guns blazing as they look to extend their unbeaten streak to seven matches in all competitions. They have won six of these games too, and at home they have scored 18 goals in their last five outings.
It’s a good job Nantes aren’t counting on a result on Saturday, because it’s highly unlikely that they are going to get it. They have lost five of their last seven and won just two of their last 12 in all competitions. Away from home Nantes have lost four and drawn two of their last six, conceding 12 goals in the process.
This puts the visitors in an uninspiring, but safe, 12th position in the table. They could move as high as 9th win an unlikely win on Ssaturday, whereas a defeat could see them drop as low as 14th.
Paris Saint Germain have shown that they aren’t letting up in recent weeks with their huge tally of home goals, and with Nantes’ poor defensive record on the road to contest with I expect another mauling on Saturday. Odds of 10/11 for Paris Saint Germain Over 2.5 Team Goals look very good value considering the 100 goal barrier is so close and Ibrahimovic will be vying for a four goal haul to hit the 40 goal mark. I’m backing a 4-0 correct score prediction at 12/1 as well.
