Paris SG vs Nice prediction: FRANCE: Ligue 1 betting tips on match 2022-09-30 19:00.
Itās been a dream start to 2022/23 for title holders Paris Saint-Germain, who already sit top of Ligue 1 after only failing to beat Monaco across the first eight rounds (W7, D1). However, PSG have shown signs of fatigue lately with a brace of 1-0 victories against Brest and Lyon, and the international break may not have brought any respite, as almost all of their regular starters have been away on international duty.
This matchday PSG face a tough test against Nice, a side theyāve failed to score against in the previous three H2Hs (D2, L1 ā 90 minutes), but with the coach who was responsible for their misfortune, Christophe Galtier, now in the PSG camp they are expected to claim full points here and continue their march towards an 11th title. Thereās potential to do so in style, as the first time Galtier faced one of his former employers, Lille, PSG won 7-1!
Niceās bottom-half position after eight Ligue 1 rounds (W2, D2, L4) has put the heat on coach Lucien Favre, and former PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino has even been approached to replace him, according to rumours. Making matters worse here, Favre will have to do without one of his top-defenders in Jean-Clair Todibo, who received the fastest red card in Ligue 1 history during Niceās 1-0 home loss against Angers last time out, receiving his marching orders after just nine seconds!
An away game does at least appear to favour Nice given that they have claimed all but one of their eight league points on the road this season, while losing just one of their previous six league road trips overall (W4, D1). The atmosphere promises to be tense at the Parc des Princes however, after some āPSG fansā got involved in trouble that preceded the European game between Nice and Cologne at the Allianz Riviera in early September, with PSG promising legal action against those involved.
Players to watch: In-form Neymar has found the net in each of PSGās previous five Ligue 1 home outings, with four seeing him score before the break. Aiming to eclipse him is Andy Delort who has led Nice to a win in each of his last eight goalscoring away games.
Hot stat: Each of the three away goals Nice have conceded in Ligue 1 this season came within the first 20 minutes.
