MY Bundesliga Bet Builder got the weekend off to a brilliant start and I'm hoping for more of the same in France on Saturday night.
Nantes vs PSG (Saturday, 20:00)
Ligue 1 leaders Paris Saint-Germain will be looking to make it seven league wins on the spin when they head to Nantes on Saturday night.
Thomas Tuchel's star-studded side stuttered at the start of the season but they have since found their rhythm and climbed back to the summit of the French top flight.
Natnes, meanwhile, registered their first win in six matches with a 3-1 win over Brest last weekend, however, a clash with cash-rich PSG undoubtedly represents an upgrade on that challenge.
The Parisians are odds-on shots as expected at a general 2/5 and therefore I'm going to make use of the Bet 365 Bet Builder feature with a view to getting the French heavyweights onside.
The combination that I like the look of on Saturday night is the 11/10 on offer for PSG to score over one goal and Nantes to collect over one card.
Free-scoring PSG have fired in 14 goals across their last three Ligue 1 matches and I fancy them to add to that tally when they come up against a Nantes side who have failed to keep a clean sheet in seven games.
When digging slightly deeper it can be seen that the French champions have found their groove by hitting four or more goals in four of their last five French top-flight tussles.
With that in mind, coupled with the fact that Nantes are without a shutout since the opening weekend of the season, I'm more than happy to back the capital club to notch up a couple of strikes during this contest.
What's more, given how freely cards have been flowing in France this season, as well the fact that Nantes are averaging two cards per game this term, I fancy Christian Gourcuff's troops to pick up two or more cards when trying to tame PSG's top-heavy attack.
It's also worth noting that the above-mentioned combination has landed in each of PSG's last five Ligue 1 fixtures and that only adds the appeal of siding with a repeat at 11/10 on Saturday night.

PSG without Neymar may have an affect on their ability to get 2 goals away from home.
Great tipping again 👏
