PSG are struggling with an injury crisis at the moment and have also lost Neymar against Caen. They could only score one goal against the second-tier side on Wednesday.
Nice have scored three goals in their last two games and they seem to have found some form after struggling to find their feet earlier this season.
Although PSG will be without some of their key players for the game, they should be able to overcome Nice's challenge with ease. We predict a narrow win for the hosts, but they might not be able to keep a clean sheet.
