Nice are having quite the bland season. Of the 9 matches played so far, they have won 4, lost 4 and drawn 1 raking in 13 points in the process. Despite having Patrick Vieira as manager, an Arsenal legend who even captained the most successful Gunners’ side, the coach is finding it difficult to replicate his performances off the field.

Nice are without a win in their last 3 matches before the international break and even struggled in a friendly match against Lausanne, playing out to a dull 0-0 draw. Clearly, the side needs creativity in the final third. After losing Mario Balotelli in January, Nice look clueless in attack and have not scored over 2.5 goals in their last 16 matches. In defence, the side is not any better and have conceded at least once in every match this season. The manager and players need to push their limits to beat the reigning champions in this clash.

PSG, expectedly, continue their domination in an apparent display of the gulf in quality present in Ligue 1. Les Parisians sit at the top spot with 21 points amassing an incredible 17 goals and letting only 4 past. They have lost only once this season, a shock result at Reims, and seem set to further their streak at Nice.

PSG have overcome it all. From having to adapt to a new manager and his style to a turbulent transfer saga involving their club record signing Neymar amid rumours of falling out among players. Coach Thomas Tuchel has been able to stabilize the Les Parisians ship. The league leaders who comfortably sit on top of the table play possession football and like to control the opposition's half with precise passing and constant pressing. They should bring the game to Nice.

Nice vs Paris SG Predictions

Nice have not kept a clean sheet across all their 9 games this season and should not withstand a fully charged PSG offensive. However, the visitors are missing some of their key men and will be counting on Mauro Icardi and Choupo-Moting to lead the charges at the front. The pair have 4 goals between them and should cause some problems at the Nice defence. Only one meeting between these two sides did not get over 2.5 goals.
