Nice will aim to widen the gap between themselves and the relegation spot as they prepare to face title-chasing PSG, hoping to pull off another surprise result.
A much-needed 2–0 win over Angers last weekend helped ease the mounting pressure on Nice, bringing an end to a frustrating six-match winless run in Ligue 1.
Elye Wahi has been involved in six goals in his last nine appearances for Nice.
That poor stretch had dragged them back into the relegation conversation, but the victory lifted them to a more comfortable position, now sitting eight points clear of the bottom three.
Their focus now shifts to improving results at home, where supporters have not witnessed a league win since late October.
PSG, meanwhile, come into this fixture full of confidence after a dominant performance in their Champions League clash.
Having been given the previous weekend off, they made the most of their preparation by defeating Chelsea 3–0 at Stamford Bridge, sealing an emphatic 8–2 aggregate win to reach the quarter-finals.
PSG have found the net in both halves in 14 of their 25 Ligue 1 matches this season.
Their attacking strength has been a standout feature this season, having scored the most goals in the league. Their firepower showed in their win against the Premier League side in midweek.
With RC Lens breathing down their necks in the title race, the Parisians will need a win against Nice to push them closer to the league title.

Whispers predicts: Nice 1-3 Paris Saint-Germain
PSG's recent form includes a spectacular Champions League performance and a dominant domestic run that makes them the clear favourites.
While Nice found some confidence against Angers last weekend, facing the league leaders is a massive step up in quality that their defence may struggle to handle.
The bookmakers have priced the away side as strong favourites at 1.33, based on their form and position at the top of the table.
A draw is currently valued at 5.50, while a home victory for Nice is considered a significant upset at 8.00 odds.
The odds for over 2.5 goals are set at 1.40, which is a very reasonable option considering both teams have scored in recent games.
