Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: PSG to Win and Under 4.5 Goals – 1.78
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Nice +3 Goals Handicap – 1.40
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Three: Correct Score 2-0 – 7.00
PSG to Win and Under 4.5 Goals
PSG have won seven of their eight matches in Ligue this season and that gives them a 88% probability to wn this game. In addition, PSG are on a four match winning run. Moreover, PSG’s last five and Nice’s all of their eight matches in Ligue 1 produced under 4.5 goals.
Nice +3 Goals Handicap
In all eight of their fixtures in the French League, Nice covered the suggested handicap in all of them. Also, PSG have not won by more three goals in their last five games. Similarly, in the previous 12 h2h meetings, Nice didn’t lose by more than three goals.
Correct Score 2-0
We will go against the statistics for this bet and predict a 2-0 win for PSG based on the fact that the hosts are averaging 2.33 goals per game at home and Nice conceded on average 1.8 goals in their last ten matches with PSG.

Paris Saint-Germain
It’s been a dream start to 2022/23 for title holders Paris Saint-Germain, who already sit top of Ligue 1 after only failing to beat Monaco across the first eight rounds (W7, D1). However, PSG have shown signs of fatigue lately with a brace of 1-0 victories against Brest and Lyon, and the international break may not have brought any breather, as almost all of their regular starters have been away on international duty.
This matchday PSG face a tough test against Nice, a side they’ve failed to score against in the previous three H2Hs (D2, L1 – 90 minutes), but with the coach who was responsible for their misfortune, Christophe Galtier, now in the PSG camp they are expected to claim full points here and continue their march towards an 11th title. There’s potential to do so in style, as the first time Galtier faced one of his former employers, Lille, PSG won 7-1!
Nice
Nice’s bottom-half position after eight Ligue 1 rounds (W2, D2, L4) has put the heat on coach Lucien Favre, and former PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino has even been approached to replace him, according to rumors. Making matters worse here, Favre will have to do without one of his top defenders in Jean-Clair Todibo, who received the fastest red card in Ligue 1 history during Nice’s 1-0 home loss against Angers last time out, receiving his marching orders after just nine seconds!
An away game does at least appear to favor Nice given that they have claimed all but one of their eight league points on the road this season while losing just one of their previous six league road trips overall (W4, D1).
Despite their difficulties in the previous three games, PSG are the overwhelming favorites with odds as low as 1.19. Thus in order of getting a better return for our stake, we will combine PSG’s win with under 4.5 goals.
Lionel Messi is definitely playing better than he did his first season with PSG when he joined last year. The Argentine scored four goals since August and was on target in PSG’s last game. With odds of 1.80 at 22Bet, we predict Messi to score any time in Saturday’s match.
In-form Neymar has found the net in each of PSG’s previous five Ligue 1 home outings, with four seeing him score before the break. Aiming to eclipse him is Andy Delort who has led Nice to a win in each of his last eight goalscoring away games.
