Paris Saint-Germain vs. Nice: Ligue 1 Match Preview, Odds & Predictions

On Friday, French champions Paris Saint-Germain will host Nice at the Parc des Princes to extend their quest for immortality. Midway through the week, Luis Enrique's squad moved closer to an unparalleled undefeated Ligue 1 season, and they will certainly be targeting a treble.

Previous Matches and head-to-head

Though Ligue 1 is already secured, PSG are chasing an unbeaten league season, with four games left before facing Arsenal in the Champions League semi-finals and Reims in the Coupe de France final. A 1-1 draw with Nantes extended their unbeaten away run to 39 matches — a record in Europe's top five leagues — and kept them 30 league games unbeaten this season.

While their 10-game Ligue 1 winning streak ended, PSG can still hit 90 points if they win out. Interestingly, both Nantes and Nice have held them to 1-1 draws this season. Nice, who won 3-2 in Paris last September, have a solid recent record at the Parc des Princes, with four wins in their previous nine visits.

Nice's recent form has dipped, ending a five-game winless run by edging Angers last weekend. With just four points separating second and seventh in the fierce race for Champions League spots, every point matters. Nice start the weekend in fifth and face a tough challenge against PSG, followed by matches against Reims, Rennes, and Brest — all with little left to fight for but pride.

Paris Saint-Germain x Nice Team news

Luis Enrique made eight changes to PSG's lineup for the trip to Nantes, fielding a stronger side than the one that edged Le Havre days earlier. This weekend, he's expected to rest Ousmane Dembele, Nuno Mendes, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia ahead of Tuesday's semi-final, with youngsters Ibrahim Mbaye and Senny Mayulu likely to feature again. Lucas Beraldo, Warren Zaire-Emery, and Lee Kang-in, who played at Nantes, won't start against Arsenal.

For Nice, defender Bombito remains sidelined with a wrist injury, while Tanguy Ndombele still has a groin issue. Terem Moffi and Morgan Sanson have recently returned. Melvin Bard, now part of the back three, has scored in his last two starts, including a vital goal against Angers.

PSG to win @ 1.61 on Sky247.ng

While PSG should continue their remarkable run, it could be close, as they have only narrowly defeated Le Havre and Angers and drawn at Nantes. This is even though they have recently secured the title, are 23 points clear at the top of the league, and are still undefeated this season. Nice is a solid favourite, having won at Parc des Princes last season. They're a talented team that might give PSG a run for their money but may lose by a hair.
