PSG's slip-up against Lyon has just given Lens some encouragement in the title race, with the gap now just one point at the top.
The Parisians do have a game in hand though, and are big favourites to win yet another Ligue 1 title.
PSG will need to balance the league with the Champions League though, as a daunting two-legged semi-final against Bayern Munich also awaits in the coming matches.
Luis Enrique's side will want to defend their Champions League crown while also winning the league, and can not have hand-picked a much better game than Nantes at home.
Indeed, the visitors are second-from-bottom and in real danger of dropping down to Ligue 2.
They are nine points from safety, but do at least have a game in hand, which makes the task of avoiding relegation improbable, but not impossible.
Nantes have also been boosted by recent results that have seen them avoid defeat in each of their previous three matches, although they have all ended in draws.
It is wins that they need now at the business end of the season, but they are unlikely to get one here against the reigning champions.

Whispers predicts: Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 Nantes
PSG are as short as 1/5 to win, and these odds are far too short for us to place a bet on.
Instead, we like the better value of BTTS - Yes at 11/13, as PSG have kept just one clean sheet in their last six home games.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia boasts four goal contributions across his last four appearances (G2, A2), and so Kvaratskhelia to score anytime at 21/20 also holds some value in our eyes.
Overall, we are predicting a Correct score - 3-1 at 10/1 in PSG's favour, with this exact scoreline coming through in their previous two home league matches - one producing a home victory and the other an away triumph.
> BTTS - Yes at 11/13 | Likelihood: Probable
> Kvaratskhelia to score anytime at 21/20 | Likelihood: Possible
> Correct score - 3-1 at 10/1 | Likelihood: Outsider
