PSG — Nice : Match Preview and Prediction for November 01,2025

Ahead of a pivotal Champions League clash against Bayern Munich, PSG must first contend with a fixture against Nice – currently one of their most formidable domestic adversaries.

Concerns Over Paris Saint-Germain’s Recent Performance

Paris Saint-Germain’s recent performance is a cause for concern, both for this match against Nice and the upcoming encounter with Bayern. In the French league, they’ve secured victory in only one of their last four outings, an away triumph against Brest (3-0). It’s a common observation that PSG often operates in “economy mode” domestically, confident in their eventual title win. However, this approach sometimes leads to unexpected results. Who would have predicted Lorient snatching a point in Week 10? The resulting 1-1 draw rewarded some bettors with a nearly 6.5x payout. Luis Enrique’s squad maintains their top spot in the standings largely due to fortunate circumstances, as most of their rivals have also faltered.

Nice’s Impressive Run and League Position

Nice, while not currently challenging for the top spot, sits in eighth place, only four points adrift of PSG. This highlights the intense competition at the top of the table. Over their last three league matches, Franck Haise’s team has been in exceptional form, being the only club to secure all nine possible points. Their schedule was far from easy, featuring victories against Lyon (3-2), Rennes (2-1), and Lille (2-0). Any of these opponents could have defeated the “Eaglets,” yet Nice emerged victorious in each instance, having finally hit their stride.

Match Outcome Prediction: Nice to Cover Handicap

Consequently, PSG players, with their minds already partly focused on the Bayern clash, will be susceptible. Squad rotation is also anticipated. Given these factors, Nice possesses a strong opportunity to earn points. I am opting for a positive handicap on the visitors, especially considering their last visit to Parc des Princes ended favorably with a 3-1 victory.
