Paris Saint-Germain Preview – PSG to get back to winning ways in style?
Former Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino is the new man at the helm at the Parc des Princes. Pochettino, who donned the Paris Saint-Germain jersey during his playing days, made an unbeaten start, winning four and drawing one of his opening five league and cup games.
However, PSG suffered their first loss under their new manager last Sunday, falling to a shock defeat at Lorient. Neymar netted a brace of penalties, but late goals from Yoane Wissa and Terem Moffi gave the hosts a memorable 3-2 win.
After a 1-0 league loss to Lyon in mid-December, Paris have won four out of four at the Parc des Princes. Since Pochettino arrived, the Parisians have beaten Stade Brest and Montpellier on home soil, scoring seven and shipping none. PSG are the huge favourites in this home match, with the bookies pricing them at just 1/16.
Nimes Preview – Heavy defeat for the Crocodiles in Paris?
Jerome Arpinon’s Nimes have had a pretty abysmal season so far, losing 14 of their 21 Ligue 1 matches. Along the way, the Crocodiles have scored 17 and shipped 44. They are rock bottom of the table, collecting a mere 15 points from a possible 63.
Since a 1-0 win at Montpellier way back in early October, 12 of their following 15 Ligue 1 games have ended in defeat. After a surprise 2-1 victory at Marseille on January 16th, Nimes could only follow that up with a 3-1 loss at Angers.

Nimes are moving closer and closer to relegation to Ligue 2, and Arpinon’s side could be on the wrong end of a cricket score in the French capital on Wednesday. Even at massive odds of 22/1, backing Nimes to win this one would be a very unwise choice.
