The new football season in France will open on Sunday evening. The trophy of the Super Cup of the country will be played between PSG and Nantes. Your attention is invited to the forecast for this event.
PSG
Parisians traditionally tune in to several titles won in the new season. Last season they managed to become only champions of France, not succeeding in cup competitions. This cost the dismissal of Mauricio Pochettino as head coach, and local specialist Christophe Galtier took the place of the Argentine this summer. A great success for PSG was the retention of Kylian Mbappe in the squad, but he will not play in this particular match due to injury.
"Nantes"
The Canaries performed well last season, finishing the championship in the top half of the standings and becoming winners of the French Cup, although they were largely lucky with the tournament grid. Of the formidable opponents, there was only Monaco, which was beaten in a penalty shootout. In the off-season, Nantes played 4 test matches, winning two victories in them, as well as losing twice.
Statistics and figures
- PSG has a 9-match unbeaten streak (6 wins + 3 draws);
- In three of the last four matches, PSG have scored at least three goals;
- In the last nine matches of the French Super Cup, PSG has won 8 victories. Last year, Parisians lost to Lille (0:1);
- "Nantes" has lost only 1 match out of the last six, winning three times;
- In nine of the last ten matches of Nantes, the bet "Both teams will score" took place;
- Nantes will compete for the French Super Cup for the first time in history.
Forecasts
Over the past year and a half, Nantes has played PSG three times, managing to win twice. It is quite possible that the capital's team will have problems in this meeting as well. Antoine Camboire's team may well not concede more than two goals, given that Mbappe will not play for Parisians.
