Match Preview
League leaders Paris Saint Germain will be looking to stretch their lead on top of the Ligue 1 log as they look to welcome 13th placed Nice to the Parc de Princes on Saturday.
The Parisiens secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Lyon while Angers lost by the same scoreline as the league took a break with international fixtures taking over for the week.
Now, with the international break over, the tussle for the title in Ligue 1 continues. PSG last time out saw how Christophe Galtier’s men grind out a win courtesy of Lionel Messi’s strike. As a matter of fact, that same fixture could have ended in a draw after Alexandre Lacazette’s poor miss heading wide Donnarumma’s goal.
OGC Nice, on the other hand, would have themselves to blame after their loss to Angers. Jean- Clair Todibo was sent for an early shower after seeing red as early as the 9th minute before finally surrendering to a Nabil Bentaleb goal to hand the visitors the three points.
Without no emotions attached to a reunion, Galtier looks set to face his former employers. However, this is a game PSG will look to get a win as they’ve never defeated Nice in their past three meetings.
