Nice vs PSG prediction, preview, team news and more | Ligue 1 2023-24

Nice will welcome champions Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to the Allianz Riviera in Ligue 1 on Wednesday. The hosts confirmed their place in Europe next season with a 1-0 home triumph over Le Havre last week.

They have a four-point lead over sixth-placed Lens, who have one game left to play in the league.

The visitors played their last home game of the season last week, suffering a 3-1 loss to Toulouse. Kylian Mbappé scored in his last home game as a PSG player in the eighth minute, but Toulouse equalized in the first half and scored twice in the second half to register a comeback win.

The visitors have suffered three consecutive losses in all competitions and will look to return to winning ways in this match.

Nice vs PSG Prediction

Le Gym have enjoyed a five-game unbeaten streak in Ligue 1, recording three wins and keeping three clean sheets. They have won their last two home games in Ligue 1, with an aggregate score of 4-0. Nonetheless, they have just one win in their last six home meetings against the capital club, suffering five losses.

Les Parisiens have seen a drop in form recently and are winless in their last four games in all competitions. They have suffered three consecutive losses in all competitions, failing to score in two games in that period. They are unbeaten in their last 22 away games in Ligue 1.

With the league title secured, Luis Enrique can rotate his squad and give first-team experience to young players. Winning the Coupe de France title will be their priority, so he can rest key players in this match.

With that in mind and considering the current form of the two teams, a draw is likely to ensue.

Prediction: Nice 2-2 PSG
