PSG take on the visitors Nice in the round 5 match of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Friday, September 15th at Parc des Princes (Paris).
Parisians are gradually gaining momentum this season, and it's not about their gameplay but rather internal misunderstandings. There was even a plan to bench Mbappé for the entire season, but the conflict has been resolved, and now the star Frenchman is contributing to the team. PSG started the season with two draws, against Lorient at home and Toulouse away. They only managed to win at home against Lens with a score of 3-1 in the third round. In the last round, they easily handled Lyon away with a score of 4-1, with all goals coming from Luis Enrique's players in the first half. Mbappé is back in action and has scored five goals, although he missed one match. PSG are currently in second place in the league, trailing the leader by two points. Injuries will keep six players off the field.

The Eaglets haven't lost yet this season. After four rounds, Nice can boast of being undefeated, although they have three draws to their name. They only managed to secure their first victory in the last round, a well-deserved 2-0 win over Strasbourg at home. With consistent play, the Eaglets are capable of competing for a place in European competitions, but they do have some issues in that regard. The team has two key player absences before this important confrontation.
Recalling the previous season, Parisians managed to win both head-to-head encounters, 2-1 at home and 2-0 away. You don't need to be an expert to understand who the favorite is in this matchup. PSG have a stronger squad and is playing at home. Nice are a strong and resilient team, so they might put up a fight. It's worth noting that top clubs tend to struggle more after international matches. We consider a straight win bet on the home team as a passable option in this match.
Prediction for the match: PSG to win.
