Nice vs. Paris Saint-Germain – Result prediction (18.10.2019)

Preview and Teams Comparison.

A 1-1 draw versus Lille in Nice’s last home outing made it just two losses across their previous 18 Ligue 1 (L1) home fixtures. Significantly, Nice kept a clean sheet in nine of those 11 victories, with each of their last four home draws producing a 1-1 scoreline. Here they face Paris Saint-Germain, hoping to gain the edge in their balanced top-flight H2H home record against ‘Les Parisians’ (W13, D9, L13). Home boss Patrick Viera will, however, be concerned that his side have not kept a single clean sheet across their nine top-flight fixtures this campaign.

Once again big pre-match favourites, PSG come into this game looking to complete a run of four straight league wins on the road. Moreover, Thomas Tuchel’s men travel to the French Riviera after failing to score in only one of their last 39 away fixtures in L1. A high-scoring away win could be on the cards then, especially as four of PSG’s last six L1 victories at Nice saw them score exactly three goals. Interestingly, if the visitors register a clean sheet here, it will be the first time in over three years that a PSG side has shut out the opposition in four consecutive top-flight away fixtures.

Nice have won only one of their last 13 games against Paris in Ligue 1 (D2 L10), it was in April 2017 (3-1). Paris have won six of their last seven games in Ligue 1, losing only against Reims at home in September (0-2). Nice are winless in their last three games in Ligue 1 (D1 L2), their worst such run in the top-flight this season. Nice have conceded at least one goal in each of their last nine games in Ligue 1, the longest current run in the French top-flight. Nice have lost only two of their last 18 home games in Ligue 1 (W11 D5): suffering defeats against Caen in April 2019 (0-1) and Marseille in August 2019 (1-2).
