PSG vs Nice prediction: FRANCE: Ligue 1 betting tips on match 2025-10-31 16:00.
[p]PSG will be looking to improve after a recent spree of slip-ups in Ligue 1, but face a tough test in Nice who have hit a domestic purple patch.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]PSG not winning a Ligue 1 match is always front page news given their usual dominance, but that’s become a common storyline recently with the Parisians winning just two of their last six league outings (D3, L1). Luis Enrique’s men still sit top of the Ligue 1 standings despite their dip in form, and a return to the Parc des Princes all but guarantees a return to winning ways considering that their 3-3 draw with Strasbourg in their last home match was preceded with four wins – all with a clean sheet – on home soil.[/p]
[p]Nice have completely flipped the script on their Ligue 1 campaign, as after winning just two of their opening seven league games (D2, L3), they’ve strung together three successive victories since. That run has seen the Eaglets soar to within striking distance of the European places – and leaders PSG – but considering their 2-1 success away at Rennes broke a seven-game winless run on the road across all competitions prior (D1, L6), closing that gap would take a monumental effort from Franck Haise’s side. [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]PSG have struggled in relative terms in this fixture recently, winning just three of the last eight Ligue 1 H2Hs (D2, L3) which includes defeats in their last two home matches.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]There have been less than 3.5 goals in six of PSG’s last eight matches.[/p]
[p]PSG have scored exactly one first-half goal in seven of their last ten home fixtures.[/p]
[p]Ten of Nice’s last 12 games saw both teams score. [/p]
[p]Nice have scored before half-time in each of their last five away matches.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]PSG might look to Bradley Barcola to get them going since he’s netted the match opener in seven of his last ten scoring outings for them, with his only prior career goal against Nice also acting as a deadlock breaker. Morgan Sanson netted twice in a 3-1 Nice win in this fixture last season, contributing to a five-game winning streak when he’s been on the scoresheet. [/p]
[p]PSG’s Désiré Doué was stretchered off against Lorient and will miss out here, but Fabián Ruiz could return. Nice’s lengthy injury list includes Jonathan Clauss and Terem Moffi.[/p]
