OGC Nice face the stern test of going up against Paris Saint-Germain for a place in the next round of the Coupe de France on Monday.
The French champions are currently on a blistering eight-game unbeaten run against the visitors and will look to keep the juggernaut rolling.
Paris Saint-Germain made it two wins from two last Sunday as they saw off Stade Reims 4-0 on home turf.
Mauricio Pochettino’s men are now unbeaten in each of their last 11-games across all competitions, claiming seven wins and four draws in that time.
PSG have now turned their attention to the French Cup where they have enjoyed a superb start, claiming two wins from two, while scoring seven goals and conceding nine.
Nice, on the other hand, continued their blistering form as they claimed a 2-0 win over Nice last time out.
They have now won each of their last seven games on the bounce, scoring 12 goals and keeping three clean sheets in that time.
While Nice will look to keep this fine form going, standing in their way is a PSG side they have failed to defeat in their last eight attempts, losing six and claiming two draws.
