In that match, Arles had 39% of the possession and took 6 shots but failed to hit the target. Nantes, on the other hand, had 19 shot attempts, three of which were on target. Recent results have shown that Arles' defense deserves some respect, as they have conceded just four goals in their last six games, and the keeper's stellar play is something to keep an eye on. It will be interesting to see if this game continues that trend.

Arles' head coach Luca Elsner is currently free from any injury troubles and can choose his strongest lineup. We think that Arles could go with a 3-4-3 formation for this match and the starting lineup could include Arthur Desmas, Joan Salil, Aruna Sangante, Gauthier Lloris, Loic Nego, Daleel Kuziaev, Abdoulaye Toure, Christopher Opeli, Samuel Glancier, Mohamed Bayo and Nabil Alioui.
Paris Saint-Germain head coach Luis Enrique has limitations in terms of team selection. Keylor Navas (calf laceration), Presnel Kimpembe (Achilles tendon tear), Sergio Rico (brain bleed), Marquinhos (hamstring injury), Warren Zaire Emery (ankle sprain) and Nuno Mendes (hamstring injury) are all unavailable.
We believe Paris Saint-Germain are likely to go with a 4-4-2 formation, with a starting lineup likely to include Gianluigi Donnarumma, Ashraf Hakimi, Milan Skriniar, Lucas Hernandez, Noldy Moukiele, Ousmane Dembele, Vitinia, Manuel Ugarte, Gang Yan Lee, Gonzalo Ramos and Kylian Mbappe.
