Prediction: 2-1
Nice
PSG will look to book their place in the Coupe de France quarter-finals when they take on Nice at their Parc des Princes. Les Parisiens aim to build on back-to-back wins over Brest and Reims, and seeing that Leo Messi returns to the starting XI, home win should be considered. All Diallo, Gueye, and Hakimi are on international duty, while Neymar remains in the recovery room. Influential midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum should miss out with injury as well.
Les Aiglons, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Metz. Nice are on a six-game winning run in all competitions, but seeing that PSG have turned their Parc des Princes into a real fortress, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of claiming a major scalp in the French Cup last 16. Christophe Galtier should have a full squad to choose from, but Morgan Schneiderlin could be recalled to the starting XI.
