Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Following a heavy 4-1 loss to Brest, Nice will look to give fans some cheer when they take on Paris FC on Matchday 6. Les Aiglons have yet to find their best form in the early stages of the season, but Sunday’s game could be the turning point for the home side. Both Kevin and Isak Jansson are in line for recalls as boss Franck Haise is expected to shuffle his pack. There are no fresh injury concerns in the home team.
The newcomers, on the other hand, have been struggling defensively on their debut Ligue 1 season and it seems as if the lack of experienced in the top flight seems to be the team’s biggest problem. Considering that Nice have turned their Allianz Riviera into a real fortress, we predict that the visitors are going to return home with their hands empty. The good news for the visiting team is that defender Otavio is back from suspension.
