Nice will welcome Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to Allianz Riviera in Ligue 1 on Sunday. The hosts have two wins in six league games this season and are in ninth place in the league standings with eight points. The defending champions have enjoyed an unbeaten start to their campaign, winning five games out of six played and are at the top of the standings.
The hosts are unbeaten in their last two league outings and have kept clean sheets in these games. In their previous league outing, they were held to a goalless away draw by Lens last week.
They met Lazio in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday and suffered a 4-1 loss, ending their unbeaten streak after three games. Jeremie Boga scored a comeback goal in the 41st minute, halving their deficit, but Lazio scored two goals after the break.

Nice vs PSG Prediction
Le Gym are winless in their last three games. They have lost just one of their last five home games in Ligue 1, with that loss coming against the capital club in May.
Melvin Bard, Morgan Sanson, Terem Moffi, and Gaétan Laborde are sidelined due to injuries and will play no part in this match. Tanguy Ndombele and Evann Guessand should return to the starting XI here.
Les Parisiens suffered their first loss of the season on Tuesday while also failing to score for the first time and will look to bounce back with a win here. They have won five of their six league games this season, scoring at least three goals in these wins, and will look to continue their goalscoring form here. They have won six of their last seven away meetings against Les Aiglons, and are strong favorites.
Ousmane Dembélé is back after being left out in the Champions League against Arsenal and is in contention to start here. Luis Enrique will be without the services of long-term absentees Presnel Kimpembe, Gonçalo Ramos, and Lucas Hernandez.
Considering the current form of the two teams and the defending champions' impressive away record in Ligue 1, we back the visitors to record a comfortable win.
