Ekitike to Score Anytime
Hugo Ekitike is one of PSG's youngest strikers and the future of the team. The 23-year-old appeared in 17 games this season scoring three goals while also assisting three times. He played in only 35 percent of available minutes. With the expected rest that is coming for Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi, Ekitike will get a chance to improve his goalscoring record. This PSG vs Nantes prediction is focused on the home team's youngest players to produce in this round 26 match.
Under 3.5 Goals
Going for goalscoring records in PSG games is not unusual with all the attacking firepower that they have at their disposal. However, sometimes those records are not prerogative for the team when the players are thinking about a match that could be more important for their season's success. Four days after the PSG vs Nantes match, the Paris team will face Bayern in the return leg of their Champions League last 16 matches. It is expected that coach Christophe Galtier will rest several of the best players for the match this weekend. That being said, going for a slightly less goalscoring match is a prudent way to understand the situation. Nevertheless, looking at the stats, PSG had 16 under 3.5 goals matches this season while Nantes played in 19. Three of their last five h2h matches went under the line.

PSG vs Nantes Lineups, Team News, and Preview
PSG
After PSG lost to Bayern in their opening match of the Champions League last 16 ties, things got heated in the locker room of the French champions. It was suspected that coach Christophe Galtier is about to get fired, which hasn't happened just yet. PSG, in the meantime, lost in the French Cup, and barely beat Lille at home in Ligue 1. But, last weekend they played their best game after the new year and won at Marseille by a 3-0 score. That result brought some breathing space within the squad. Presnel Kimpembe, Neymar, Achraf Hakimi, and Renato Sanches are out through injury, while Marco Verratti is suspended.
Predicted lineup: Donnarumma, Marquinhos, Ramos, Bitshiabu, Mendes, Pereira, Ruiz, Mukiele, Vitinha, Soler, Ekitike.
Nantes
The most important fact for Nantes' season thus far is that they kept themselves far away from the relegation zone. They have won two out of their last five games, the other three being losing efforts. They are seven points away from the danger zone with 13 games remaining in the season. Going for a surprising result in Paris will take an effort that is far from the realm of what usually this team is showing. The visiting team has Nicolas Pallois and Quentin Merlin injured for this important match.
Predicted lineup: Lafont, Hadjam, Catelletto, Girotto, Centonze, Moutoussamy, Chirivella, Mollet, Ganago, Delort, Blas.
Starting lineups
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.

Player to Watch: Carlos Soler
If we could mention one player that has had some stand-out performances this season for PSG not named Mbappe, Messi, or Neymar, it would be the 26-year-old Spain international Carlos Soler. He participated in 16 matches this season scoring a couple of goals and recording three assists from his role in the central midfield.
