PSG take on the visitors Nice in the round 31 match of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Friday, April 25th at Parc des Princes (Paris).
PSG are focused solely on the Champions League. The Parisians have long made winning the Champions League their top priority. In all this time, they’ve only reached one final — and lost it. Last year, Luis Enrique guided them to the semifinals, knocking out Barcelona along the way. This season, despite Kylian Mbappé’s confirmed departure to Real Madrid, PSG have once again reached the semifinals — eliminating Brest, Liverpool, and Aston Villa in the knockout rounds. With the domestic season effectively wrapped up — they claimed the Super Cup and secured the Ligue 1 title in early April — all attention is now on Europe. Recent league matches have become a testing ground, and the 1-1 draw away at Nantes earlier this week was a reflection of this experimental phase. Key players like Dembélé and Vitinha have been rotated more frequently to stay fresh for continental clashes.

Nice now have a wealthy and ambitious owner, but those ambitions have yet to translate into results. Last season under Francesco Farioli had its moments, including a 5th-place finish. But that campaign also saw a frustrating collapse after a strong start. This year, with Farioli off to Ajax, the club turned to Franck Haise — the man who led Lens to second place. However, Haise has struggled to replicate his previous success. Nice failed to win a single match in the Europa League, ending with 3 draws and 5 defeats. Worse yet, they were knocked out of the Coupe de France by third-tier side Briochin, and their Ligue 1 form collapsed soon after. Their narrow win over Angers last weekend ended a long winless streak, but confidence remains low.
Out of the last four meetings, PSG have won two, while Nice managed a surprise victory in 2023. It’s clear that Dembélé and company will already have one eye on the Champions League semifinal. But the quality gap is simply too large, and the champions won’t accept two poor results in a row. Back PSG to win with a -1 handicap.
Prediction for the match: PSG to win with -1.0 handicap.
