Good atmosphere inside the club

PSG’s last home match saw them extend their 100% home record into a 13th Ligue 1 (L1) game at the Parc des Princes. In superb offensive form, PSG have also scored at least two goals in 18 of their 24 L1 matches this season, averaging an impressive 3.08 goals per game.

Additionally, PSG have an outstanding record against Nîmes here in the top flight (W6, D4, L1), and if they win, it will likely be with a clean sheet, as the hosts have kept one in 61.54% (eight) of their 13 home L1 games to date - a league high.

Players to watch: PSG’s Kylian Mbappé leads the L1 goalscorer standings with 20 goals, with 18 arriving in the second half. Meanwhile, Antonin Bobichon (NÎM) has proved his recent form by finding the net his last two L1 matches.

Stat attack: PSG have won the first half in nine of their last 13 L1 home fixtures, for a half-time home record of: W9, D4.

The hosts have been awarded the highest number of corners per L1 game so far, averaging 6.42 a game.

Victim of a concussion on February 9 against Bordeaux (1-0), Thomas Meunier resumed collective training on Thursday. A session in which Juan Bernat, decreased and absent Wednesday against Montpellier (5-1), also participated. Edinson Cavani (tendon of the hip) continues its individual protocol and, like Neymar (foot), will be forfeit for the reception of Nîmes Saturday (17 hours).

After two consecutive L1 wins by a two-goal margin, Nîmes have suffered just one loss in their last five league fixtures (W3, D1, L1). Across this league campaign, the visitors have averaged 1.58 goals per away game, and boast the third highest average number of shots per road trip (14.42).

However, a concern for manager Bernard Blaquart will be his side’s leaky defence, which has conceded an average of 1.83 goals per away fixture so far - the division’s third highest average.

Ahead of the round, Nîmes have conceded L1’s second-highest average number of shots per away game (15.17).

Nîmes have failed to score in each of their five away losses this L1 campaign.

PSG will be deprived of many players this Saturday for the reception of Nîmes (17h), the infirmary is still very full, but his opponent has also a lot of worries in this area since there are not less than five players will be missed at the call of the Crocodiles Nîmes. The two defending midfielders Moustapha Diallo and Pierrick Valdivia, as well as striker Clément Depres, have been wounded for a long time and are not in the group, but they are not the only ones absent. In defense, the left-back Faïtout Maouassa is finally present in the 18 retained by Bernard Blaquart and his staff for the trip to Paris but two players are still missing: Florian Miguel is finally forfeited as well as central defender Fethy Harek, touched hamstrings. Faced with all those absent, the Nimes Olympique should present a starting eleven close to that of the last weeks.

For the trip on the lawn of Paris Saint-Germain, scheduled this Saturday afternoon (17 hours, Parc des Princes) as part of the 26th day of Ligue 1, Bernard Blaquart, the coach of Nimes Olympique, has appealed to a group of eighteen players. For this match, the technician Gardois will always do without Moustapha Diallo (ankle) and Clément Depres (knee). Hervé Lybohy, absent for the reception of the DFCO last week, is back. Fethi Harek and Florian Miguel come out of the group.
