Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is seeking redemption after a surprising loss to Monaco. With a strong track record in recent Champions League matches against Chelsea, PSG looks to dominate against Nice, who are battling relegation woes. Nice's recent managerial change hasn't yielded stability, leaving them vulnerable. PSG’s strength in away matches poses a formidable challenge to Nice, who have not won a Ligue 1 home game since October. Critical players for PSG include Bradley Barcola, who recently succeeded in the UCL, while Nice seeks inspiration from Melvin Bard's recent performances.

PSG beat Nice 1-0 earlier this season (Getty)


Nice’s form has been poor in the last two months and they haven’t won a single Ligue 1 home game since October. I am backing PSG to score early and win HT-FT. 

Key Stats  


  • Nice have lost 3 of their last 5 matches. 
  • PSG beat Nice 1-0 earlier this season. 
  • PSG have won 3 of their last 4 matches. 

86 Previous Meetings 


These two sides locked horns 86 times and PSG hold a 37-26 advantage, 23 matches ending without a winner. 

Nice Still in Relegation Danger 


Appointing Claude Puel as the new manager in late December didn’t bring much-needed stability for Nice as they sit just one position above the Ligue 1 playout spot. 

They started this month with a 1-0 road loss to Paris FC, missing two clear goal opportunities to equalizer, followed by a 4-0 home defeat to Rennes. 

The Eaglets ended this losing run last weekend with a 2-0 road victory at Angers, Melvin Bard and Elye Wahi finding the net. They limited opposition to just one shot on target. 

Saints Did Great in the UCL Playoffs 


PSG’s last two appearances were in the Champions League where they defeated Chelsea twice 5-2 at home and 3-0 in London to advance to the quarterfinals. 

Speaking of their Ligue 1 campaign, the Saints had a couple of slip ups recently but still lead the title race with one-point advantage over Lens. 

After wrapping up February with back to back victories against Metz 3-0 and Le Havre 1-0, Luis Enrique’s side got shockingly beaten by Monaco 3-1 in front of the home crowd earlier this month, Bradley Barcola scoring a consolation. 

Predicted Lineups & Team News 


Nice (5-3-2) Yehvann Diouf, Antoine Mendy, Jonathan Clauss, Juma Bah, Dante, Melvin Bard, Hicham Boudaoui, Morgan Sanson, Charles Vanhoutte, Sofiane Diop, Kevin Carlos 

Mohamed Ali Cho, Mohamed Abdelmonem, Moise Bombito and Isak Jansson are injured for the home team. 

PSG (4-3-3) Matvey Safonov, Warren Zaire Emery, Marquinhos, Lucas Beraldo, Nuno Mendes, Vitinha, Senny Mayulu, Dro Fernandez, Desire Doue, Ousmane Dembele, Bradley Barcola 

Fabian Ruiz remains doubtful for PSG due to a knee problem, while Quentin Ndjantou is ruled out due to a hamstring injury. Achraf Hakimi is serving a one-game suspension. 

Verdict

PSG can’t afford another slip up after losing to Monaco. They are the most successful road team in Ligue 1 and I expect them to cruise past struggling Nice.
