Nice vs PSG : Preview , Prediction & how to watch

The French champions will play their last game before the international break as they visit struggling Nice in matchday 27 of the Ligue 1 season. Claude Puel's side (15th) is eight points ahead of 16th-place Auxerre in the relegation battle. Nantes are in 17th place with 17 points, but have played a game less than Auxerre. Les Parisiens should not take the team lightly as they are fighting to stay in the league. When they played the league's basement side Metz at the Stade Saint-Symphorien in December, they narrowly got over the line, winning 2-3 on the day. Luis Enrique's side won 1-0 when they played 17th-place Auxerre at Estadio de L'Abbé-Deschamps in January.

Les Parisiens are coming off the back of a brilliant 0-3 win against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on midweek. Liam Rosenior's side were not at the races from the get-go. A mistake from Mamadou Sarr allowed Khvicha through in just the sixth minute. Bradley Barcola doubled the French's side lead moments later before Senny Mayulu put the win beyond doubt midway through the second half. These last two results will give PSG the belief that they can go far in the tournament after a disappointing League Phase campaign. Nice will be the fresher of the two sides as they didn't play in Europe.
