Paris FC exceeded expectations last campaign, their first in Ligue 1, by finishing 11th. They beat PSG 2-1 on the final matchday – marking their fifth victory in six home league outings.

Liam Rosenior, fresh off his Chelsea tenure, possesses impressive experience in the French top-flight.

However, he failed to lead his new team to a season opening victory, as newly-promoted Troyes held the Parisians to a goalless draw at Stade de l’Aube.

The hosts are without a handful of names: Pablo Pagis, Jonathan Ikone, Emmanuel Mbemba and Nhoa Sangui.

As for Nice, four players are missing as well. They are Jonathan Clauss, Moise Bombito, Axel Witsel and Laurent Abergel.

The visitors are under new management as well, with former Lorient coach Olivier Pantaloni replacing Claude Puel at the helm. Shambolic performances last season saw Nice avoid relegation by the skin of their teeth, having to beat St-Etienne over two legs in the play-offs.

Nice opened their season with a goalless draw with Lorient, and now remain scoreless in three consecutive matches, including two friendlies to end their pre-season.

The Eagles are winless in five successive away Ligue 1 outings, and have lost all four visits to Stade Jean Bouin.

Whispers predicts: Paris FC 2-1 Nice

Paris FC have conceded two or more goals just once in their last eight games, but have scored two or more in three of their last four games. Over 2.5 total goals at 11/10 (2.10) offers clear value per Bet365.

However, the hosts are expected to win by the narrowest of margins. Paris FC to win by one goal at 11/4 (3.75) is a bet worth backing.

Paris FC to win at 21/20 (2.05) given their superior H2H form on home turf is a no-brainer. Furthermore, no current Ligue 1 side have tasted defeat in more top-flight away games since the start of last season.

Although both sides failed to score in their opening game, BTTS – Yes at 11/13 (1.84) offers significant value, with another goalless draw unlikely.
