PSG vs Nice Prediction & Betting Tips (13 March)

PSG is already doing better than last year. By winning in San Sebastian last week in the 1/8 final of the Champions League 1-2 a few weeks after having already won the first leg at the Parc des Princes 2-0, the Ile-de-France residents reached the quarter-finals of the most beautiful European competitions for the first time in 3 years. Enough to approach the upcoming national events more calmly, particularly in the championship, where they have a very large lead of 10 points over their first pursuer in the standings in Ligue 1, despite their last 3 draws conceded against Rennes 1-1, Monaco 0-0 and Reims 2-2 last Sunday. In the Coupe de France, the Parisians have been relatively spared so far and they only had to dismiss Revel 0-9 and Orléans 1-4 before having to raise their level to overcome Brest 3-1 in the previous round. Opposite, Nice is spoiling the good arrangements displayed during the first part of the season.

Because after having capitalized on numerous points during the fall by giving pride of place to its defensive solidity, the Gym has encountered many more difficulties since the return from the winter break. Indeed, Francesco Farioli's men have only taken a small point during the last 5 days of Ligue 1. And after only being able to draw with the red lantern Clermontois 0-0, the Aiglons suffered 2 new setbacks against Toulouse 2-1 and Montpellier 0-1 last Friday and they thus fell to 6th place in the ranking with 5 points behind the podium. Earlier in this Coupe de France, the Azuréens were able to beat Auxerre on penalties, Bordeaux 2-3 and Montpellier 1-4.

Like Sunday during the reception of Reims, the goalkeeper Rico, and the defenders Marquinhos, Kimpembe and Skriniar will obviously not be available. Otherwise, Luis Enrique will be able to count on all his executives. Starting Sunday, Navas should return to the bench and leave Donnarumma in the cages. Author of a double against Real Sociedad, Kylian Mbappé was only a substitute on Sunday before coming on for the last 20 minutes. The top scorer in Ligue 1 (21 goals) should this time start just like his friend Ousmane Dembélé. He is also the most decisive player in this competition with 6 goals to his credit this season.

Established at the forefront on Sunday, the Portuguese Gonçalo Ramos took the opportunity to score his 6th goal of the season. Nice midfielder Beka Beka will still not be present. The young Sofiane Diop and the replacement full-back Rosier will also not be able to make the trip to the Parc des Princes while the interesting Ndayishimiye, injured at the last minute during the reception in Montpellier, is back in the group. Despite their difficulties since their return from the Can, the Ivorian striker Boga (4 goals, 2 assists) and the Nigerian Moffi (7 goals, 2 assists in L1) could retain the confidence of Francesco Farioli just like the experienced Laborde (4 goals). Center forward Guessand (4 goals) would like to overturn this hierarchy.
