Our Free Nice vs PSG Ligue 1 Match Predictions
Contents
PSG hope they can get a win in this trip to Nice after failing to secure three points from two encounters this season. The first leg ended 0-0 and both teams met again in France Cup in a match that ended 0-0 in regular time. Our free predictions for this game are below.
Under 2.5 @ 33/50 (1.66)
Our first Nice vs PSG prediction is under 2.5 at full-time. A nail-bitting contest on the back of two consecutive barren draws means this game can end either way. However, we can also not rule out the possibility of another draw when these teams meet again for the third time this season. One of the strengths of Nice is a solid defence that has earned them three clean sheets in the last three fixtures.
PSG to score first @ 53/100 (1.53)
For PSG, the goal is to be more offensive as they have been, and even better when they make this trip to Nice on Sunday. The Parisians are undoubtedly the better team offensively and with their top talents in attacking positions, we expect them to open the scoring in this Ligue 1 duel.

Nice vs PSG Ligue 1 Match Preview and Predicted Fixture Lineups
PSG forward Neymar Jr is back and has since scored a goal in two Ligue 1 games after his return as well as provided an assist in the UCL. The return of Neymar means PSG is now more lethal in their attacking positions, which should worry Nice given that the Brazilian missed the reverse fixture that ended 0-0. With Mbappe and Lionel Messi all likely to make up the attacking front, Nice will have a lot of defending to do and from that, some mistakes could arise to cost them the first goal on the match.
The hosts may have kept three clean sheets in the last two matches and even bagged back to back draws against PSG, but this second Ligue 1 meeting of the season is expected to be a nail-biting contest between two teams in top three. To stay third or go second, Nice must win this game. It will, however, depend on how they lineup to exploit PSG’s defence that has been mostly unreliable this season.
Nice predicted lineup: Benitez, Lotomba, Barbosa, Rosario, Stengs, Bard, Thuram, Gouiri, Lemina, Schnerderlin, Delort.
PSG Predicted lineup: Donnarumma, Marquinhos, Kehrer, Mendes, Kimpembe, Pereira, Wijnaldum, Gueye, Mbappe, Neymar and Messi.
