Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Sparkles will be flying when Nice and PSG square off against each other at Allianz Riviera in what is expected an exciting Ligue 1 game. Les Aiglons have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team losing to Marseille, beating St Etienne, while sharing the spoils with Lens at the weekend. All Tanguy Ndombele, Melvin Bard, Mohamed Ali Cho, Gaetan Laborde, Morgan Sanson, and Terem Moffi are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
Les Parisiens, on the other hand, defeated Rennes 3-1 at the weekend to retain top position in the standings. As Nice were in action in the Europa League on Thursday, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on the visiting team. Ousmane Dembele is a major doubt after he was left out of the PSG Champions League squad over “respect” issue, while both Presnel Kimpembe and Goncalo Ramos remain in the recovery room.
Highlighted Team (PSG):
Formed by the merger of Paris FC and Stade Saint-Germain in 1970, Paris Saint-Germain or as they call it PSG is the most successful club in French football with 31 domestic titles to their name. Having won six Ligue 1 title so far, a record ten Coupes de France, a record six Coupes de la Ligue, six Trophees des Champions and one Ligue 2 title, PSG are also one of only two French clubs to ever win a European title.
Les Parisiens were crowned UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup champions back in 1995-96, while their last European trophy was the 2001 UEFA Intertoto Cup. Beginning of the new millennium was particularly hard for the celebrated club who flirted with relegation in 2000s before they were bought by the Quatar Sports Investments group in 2011 when the rebirth of the Paris Saint-Germain as we know it today began.
Following heavy squad investments and team boosting, PSG won their first Ligue 1 title in 19 years with Swedish legend Zlatan Ibrahimovic almost singlehandedly leading his side towards the trophy with 30 goals. Having established domestic dominance, PSG now set their sights on winning the Champions League which remains an elusive dream for the club from Paris.
