Vitinha to be Luis Enrique’s trump card against Nice.

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) will face off against OGC Nice this weekend in an all-important match in the Ligue 1. The Parisian side are currently sitting at the top of the table with 21 points, winning six out of their 10 games. Luis Enrique’s side are closely followed by AS Monaco and Marseille, with 20 points and 19 points, respectively.

Their opponents, Nice, are placed in the eighth spot and have put up 17 points on the board. After hitting a rough patch, the team seems to have found its rhythm, winning consecutive league matches against Lyon and Rennes.

As such, the team surely wouldn’t want to squander their momentum against PSG. Nice would be well aware that a victory at the Parc des Princes will make a major statement to all the other teams in the league that the team is reestablishing itself as a top contender.

Players to Watch

Vitinha (Paris Saint-Germain)

Vitinha has been a force to reckon with in PSG’s midfield. The 25-year-old has been a regular in the French team’s lineup because of his playmaking abilities. His dribbling skills, coupled with his distribution abilities, make him a dangerous player on the pitch.

The former FC Porto player is also defensively sound. He is comfortable in winning duels and regaining possession. He has won a total of 83 duels for the club and has a ball recovery rate of 0.48 per game.

He also doesn’t shy away from making tackles (23), although he is not prone to getting in the referee’s books.

Sofiane Diop (OGC Nice)

Sofiane Diop could be the game-changer for Nice against PSG. The France-born Moroccan international scored a scorcher against his former club. He beat the Stade Rennes goalkeeper with a powerful shot from outside the box, helping his team win 2-1 in the process.

The Tours-born player has also previously rendered his services for clubs like AS Monaco and FC Sochaux-Montbéliard. To date, Diop has played a total of 89 matches for Nice and scored 13 goals.
