Nice vs PSG Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The visitors boast almost double the goal difference.

OGC Nice will host table toppers and defending champions Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) over the weekend. Nice will be hoping to get back to winning ways after a disappointing 4-1 defeat to Lazio in the Europa League. The Eaglets have struggled to find consistency this season, having won just two of their last eight outings and are placed ninth on the Ligue 1 table.

PSG on the other hand sit comfortably at the top of the table with five wins in their last six league outings. Luis Enrique’s men have been excellent in both attack and defence. They have scored 20 goals and have conceded just five so far. They come into this game on the back of a 2-0 defeat to Arsenal in the Champions League.
