Paris Saint-Germain vs Nice Preview and Team News

Paris Saint-Germain Team News

Paris Saint-Germain host their long-time rivals Nice in the 31st round of the Ligue 1 on Friday. They’ve almost secured the league title this season by drawing up a 22-point difference from second-placed Monaco. PSG will still be wary of letting their guard drop in this encounter. 

For Paris Saint-Germain, the most important thing is to challenge in the UEFA Champions League, and they’ve done well in it.

Manager Luis Enrique has relied a lot on striker Ousmane Dembele this season to provide him with goals up front and contribute to the overall attacking strategy. The same will be expected in this game as well. 

The former Barcelona talent is currently the leading goalscorer in the Ligue 1. Bradley Barcola is ranked 2nd in big chances created in the competition (18) and will be keenly marked as well. 

As for injuries, PSG don’t have to worry much. Only Willian Pacho is a doubtful starter owing to illness, but all other players will be available for selection.

Nice Team News

For Nice, who are ranked fifth in the league table, toppling Paris Saint-Germain in this away game will be what their players and supporters dream of. Most teams are motivated to do well against PSG.

Moise Bombito, with a broken wrist, has been ruled out and is not expected to return until May. 

Midfielder Tanguy Ndombele, known for his languid and elegant way of manning the centre of the park, is also unavailable for Friday owing to a recent groin injury.

Nice have not had the best of times in front of the goal of late. It’s something they need to work on as soon as possible. They’ve scored just 7 times in their previous five matches, which doesn’t even translate to two goals per game. 

Their defenders, too, have been in poor form and have struggled to operate as a cohesive unit. They have no clean sheets in their last seven events, and the pressure is mounting.

Paris Saint-Germain vs Nice Prediction

• Pick: Paris Saint-Germain to win
• Odds: 1.54 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Paris Saint-Germain 2-1 Nice

PSG are the overwhelming favourites to win Friday’s encounter, and we don’t expect to see them face any hurdles. They have a better attacking outfit at their disposal, which will allow them to challenge their opponents and punish them whenever they make mistakes.

In the past 31 matches recorded between these sides, the hosts have beaten Nice on 20 occasions. This means they have a clear upper hand over them historically. At home, PSG have defeated the guests in 10 out of the 16 games played.

Paris Saint-Germain vs Nice Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Both teams to score
• Odds: 1.63 (22Bet)

With attackers like Dembele on one side (PSG) and Gaëtan Laborde on the other (Nice), what else can we predict other than both teams to score (BTTS)? 

Gaëtan Laborde has the most shots on target per match for Nice (1.4) and will be kept under close watch by the Paris Saint-Germain defenders. However, he has a habit of sneaking out from under his marker’s radar and then scripting a seemingly harmless foray into the attacking third. 

The way Laborde brings his fellow attackers into the game makes him one of the most dangerous players in the entire league. 

PSG will need to be wary of him and the threat he poses, but their attackers will also enjoy playing hide-and-seek past the Nice defenders.
