Paris FC vs Nice prediction: No smiles in Paris
Key stats
- Paris FC are winless in five straight Ligue 1 games (D4, L1).
- The Parisians are winless at home in eight consecutive clashes (D4, L4).
- Nice have won three of their last eight competitive matches (D3, L2).
- The Eagles are ranked 15th in the Ligue 1 away table (W2, D1, L8).
Correct score prediction: Paris FC 1-1 Nice
Without a victory in their last five league matches, Paris FC have had a pretty poor start to the new calendar year. This forced the club management to sack Stephane Gilli and appoint Antoine Kombouare. The Parisians have found it difficult to score goals in recent matches, having netted only thrice in their last six across all competitions.
They will be glad to return to Stade Jean Bouin, although their 5-0 thrashing to high-flying Lens is still fresh in memory. Nice aren’t far off from Paris FC, leading them by just one point above the relegation zone after their 3-3 draw vs Lorient. The Eagles are winless in four straight league outings and need a victory to stay afloat in the top flight.
Paris FC are equally desperate for points. Both teams lie just outside the bottom three, currently occupied by Auxerre, Nantes and Metz. A draw is the most probable scenario at Stade Jean Bouin, a result that would keep sides in contention for safety.

- DRAW: 12/5 (3.40) – 29.4%

Player to watch: Ciro Immobile
