Bookmaker Ratings prediction two: PSG -1 Corners Handicap – 1.52
Bookmaker Ratings prediction three: PSG Win or Correct Score 1-1 – 1.44
Draw or PSG Win and Under 3.5 Goals
Three of the last six h2h meetings ended in a draw. However, Nice are in unstable form winning one of their last four games. PSG on the other side lost twice in all season. In addition, Nice’s last eight of nine games saw under 3.5 goals.
PSG -1 Corners Handicap
Paris Saint Germain are a very offensive team and press their opponents which will give PSG the opportunity to win more corners. To illustrate, the last three h2h meetings saw PSG win more corners than Nice and thus covered the -1 handicap.
PSG Win or Correct Score 1-1
There is a 54% chance that PSG will win this game according to the statistics. The 1-1 correct score is also a big possibility since looking at their recent h2h meetings, PSG are having difficulty in beating Nice.

Preliminary review and match prediction
Nice are having a great season by reaching the third position and battling for a Champions League spot finish. In fact, the Eaglets are having their best season in 11 years. In detail, with 47 points, Nice have 18 more points than last season at this stage.
Clearly, the biggest improvement is in Nice’s defense. To Clarify, Nice are not just having their second-best defensive season in 11 years but also having the best defense in Ligue 1 this season. Coach Christoph Galtier’s strength then is his defense but can he keep a star-studded PSG side from scoring for the third time this season?
In the past two h2h meetings, Paris Saint Germain couldn’t score past the Nice defense. To illustrate, the first match was in the league at Parc de Prince and despite 22 goal attempts, Mbappe and co couldn’t find the back of the net. The second time they met was in the French Cup where Nice won on penalties after 0-0 was the end result.
Hence, Pocchetino’s team are having difficulty coping with this Nice defense who seem to know how to stop the Parisian key players. Nevertheless, Mbappe, Neymar, and Messi can never be counted out. Since December though, and after building a comfortable lead at the top, PSG lost points and drew four times while losing to lowly Nantes.
Nice vs Paris Saint Germain Prediction
The same scenario of Nice vs PSG games is expected to be repeated where nice play tough defense and PSG attack. As a result, there is always a chance for another draw here but the win is always closer to men from the capital. We will back a double chance of a draw and away win combined with under 3.5 goals.
Safe Bet
Two out of the last three meetings between Nice and PSG saw under ten corners. Moreover, the usual number of corners that both teams have combined in their matches is 10. Thus we think the bet under 10 corners is a safe bet considering the stats and previous h2hs.
Quick Rich
The Nice no bet market and the draw has odds of 3.10. According to the statistics, there is a 27% chance for a draw and Nice are able to hold PSG for a stalemate in recent games. Thus we recommend backing this market for a quick profit.
Nice vs Paris Saint Germain First Goalscorer
Despite the fact that the last two matches of this fixture saw no goals, we predict Mbappe to be the first goalscorer in this game. The French International was on target 14 times in Ligue 1 this season and with 5.00 odds, we will back him to open the scoring.
