Ligue 1 Round 18 clash between struggling Nantes (16th, 14 pts) and Paris FC (15th, 16 pts) at Stade de la Beaujoire on January 18, 2026. Both teams occupy relegation zone positions with poor form, though Paris FC holds slight advantage in recent away performance.

Recent H2H results: Nantes won previous 2 matches against Paris FC

Prediction:

Based on current form and stats, we expect a close contest with a final score of 1-2 in favor of Paris FC.
Nantes' historical advantage in head-to-head matchups contrasts with their poor home record and penalty concession issues. Paris FC's recent goal-scoring form and away resilience suggest they may exploit Nantes' defensive vulnerabilities. Both teams' relegation-zone status indicates defensive instability and counter-attacking opportunities.
Historical H2H advantage favors Nantes despite poor form, while Paris FC's recent goal-scoring streak and away performance suggests competitive match. Nantes' home penalty record and 63% home loss rate significantly increase vulnerability despite previous victories.
