The Ligue 1 returns to the fold with another round of matches this weekend as Nice lock horns with Christophe Galtier's PSG side in a crucial encounter at the Stade Allianz Riviera on Saturday.
Nice vs PSG Preview
Nice are currently in eighth place in the Ligue 1 standings and have been fairly impressive so far this season. The home side played out a 1-1 draw against Angers last week and will need to work hard to achieve a similar result in this fixture.
PSG, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table at the moment but have been surprisingly poor on the domestic front in recent weeks. The Parisian giants slumped to a damaging 1-0 defeat at the hands of Lyon in their previous game and will need to bounce back away from home this weekend.

Nice vs PSG Prediction
PSG have a good squad at their disposal but have largely failed to meet expectations so far this season. Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi have largely been carrying the team so far and will need to step up yet again this weekend.
Nice have exceeded expectations over the past month and will be intent on pulling off an upset in this fixture. PSG are the better team on paper, however, and should be able to win this game.
