Nice
At the start of the current Ligue 1 season, the team alternates between wins and losses. Last weekend, Nice suffered a heavy defeat to Brest, resulting in Franck Haise's side losing 3 of their first 5 matches in the French championship. The club's uncompromising streak in this tournament has reached 10 matches (6 wins, 4 losses). Before Sunday's game, the team has collected only 6 points and is in 12th place in the table.

Paris
Like Nice, the league newcomer is handling the season with mixed results. After two defeats at the start of the season, the club regrouped and secured two consecutive victories, but their last league match ended in disappointment as Paris lost to Strasbourg, leaving them in 11th place in the table. Notably, Stéphane Gilli's side has yet to keep a clean sheet, having conceded a total of 12 goals – only Lorient and Metz have worse records with 13 goals each.

Match Prediction: Nice vs. Paris
Paris is an entertaining team with a solid array of attacking players and significant defensive issues. Since entering Ligue 1, the club regularly puts on a show, with a total of 21 goals scored in their last 5 matches – the highest alongside Lille. Notably, at least 3 goals have been scored in 5 of Paris's last 7 games in Ligue 1 and Ligue 2. A similar pattern was observed in 6 of their last 8 away games under Stéphane Gilli in these tournaments.
Nice is also capable of delivering an exciting match. In 5 of the team's matches this season, a total of 15 goals have been scored, averaging 3 goals per game. This level of scoring was achieved in 9 of their last 13 Ligue 1 matches.
In my opinion, the head-to-head meeting between Nice and Paris should also be high-scoring. Prediction: Total over 2.5 goals
