The Matchday 11 clash in Ligue 1 between PSG and Nice will take place on November 1 at the Parc des Princes in Paris. PSG vs. Nice: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
PSG
The capital club has had a rough patch in their last four league matches, securing only one victory (against Brest, 3-0) and drawing three times. In the previous round, PSG visited one of the league's bottom three, Lorient, and managed only a draw (1-1). Nevertheless, no team took advantage of PSG's slip-up, and they continue to lead the league, though the gap to their nearest rival remains minimal.
- PSG has not lost in 11 of their last 12 Ligue 1 matches (8 wins and 3 draws).
- No more than 3 goals have been scored in 6 of PSG's last 7 league games.
- The club has won 17 of their last 21 home matches in Ligue 1 (3 draws and 1 defeat).
Predicted lineup for PSG (4-3-3)
Lucas Chevalier – Illya Zabarnyi, Lucas Beraldo, Marquinhos, Nuno Mendes – Warren Zaire-Emery, Senny Meyulu, Quentin Njangtu – Ousmane Dembele, Desire Doue, Ibrahima Mbaye.
Midfielder Fabian Ruiz continues his recovery, while forward Desire Doue is sidelined for several weeks due to injury.
Nice
Under the guidance of Franck Haise, Nice enters this match on the back of three consecutive Ligue 1 victories. The club defeated Lyon (3-2) and Lille (2-0) at home and overcame Rennes (2-1) away. Following this successful run, the team has climbed to 8th place, just two points away from the Champions League zone.
- Nice is unbeaten in their last 5 Ligue 1 matches (3 wins and 2 draws).
- Both teams scored in 5 of Nice's last 6 league matches.
- At least 3 goals have been scored in 9 of Nice's last 10 away matches in Ligue 1.
Predicted lineup for Nice (4-3-3)
Yevann Diouf – Djuma Ba, Antoine Mendy, Melvin Bard, Kodjo Oppong – Charles Vanhoutte, Sofiane Diop, Salis Abdul Samed – Kevin Omoruyi, Jeremie Boga, Tiago Gouveia.
Defenders Dante, Moise Bombito, and Mohamed Abdelmonem, as well as midfielder Youssouf Ndayishimiye and forwards Mohamed-Ali Cho and Terem Moffi, are injured.

PSG vs. Nice: Match Prediction
PSG has slowed down in recent rounds but still leads the league table. In their last match, the team dropped points against a bottom-ranked opponent, although PSG wasn't at full strength as Luis Enrique aimed to rest key players. However, the Parisians need to start winning again as five teams are within just two points of them and could overtake the league leaders at any moment.
I believe the upcoming match will be high-scoring. Both teams favor attacking football, with PSG averaging 2 goals per match and Nice 1.6. Additionally, at least 3 goals have been scored in 17 of PSG's last 24 home games in Ligue 1, as well as in 13 of Nice's last 15 away league matches. Furthermore, 3 or more goals have been scored in 7 of the last 9 head-to-head encounters in Ligue 1 at Parc des Princes.
My prediction: Total over 3 goals
