Paris FC vs Nice — Tips & Analysis

Paris FC -0.25: Paris FC have turned Stade Jean Bouin into an awkward trip, and that is the main reason we are with them. They have won 5 of their 7 home games there, scoring 2 goals a game. They opened the season with a 0-0 at Troyes where they made the better chances and could not finish one. Nice come in with almost nothing going forward. They score less than a goal a game across their last 15, and they have won only 3 of those. Their midfield has been picked apart too, with Abergel, Sanson and Abdi all missing. That points to an away plan built on keeping the score down rather than winning the game. The last two meetings ended 1-0 and 1-1, so neither side has run away with this one lately. Expect Paris FC to control the ball, get the opener and add a second late for a 2-0 win. The warning is real though. Nice tie a lot of games. 7 of their last 15 ended level, and a stubborn away side can drag this into a long, tense night. Paris FC are also missing Ikone, Koleosho, Mbemba and Sangui, so their attack is short of bodies. We still think the home side are stronger in the areas that decide this game.
