OGC Nice vs PSG: Predicted lineup for Ligue 1 match

After their dominant 3-0 victory over Chelsea in the second-leg of their Champions League Round of 16, Paris Saint-Germain will face OGC Nice at the Allianz Riviera on Matchday 27 of Ligue 1 McDonald's. It will be their last game before the March international break that saw Didier Deschamps call-up five PSG players.

For this game, Luis Enrique will have to do without five players, Fabian Ruiz and Quentin Ndjantou who should both make their return to the squad after the international break and Bradley Barcola who suffered an ankle injury in the second-leg against Chelsea. The Frenchman is expected to miss several weeks of competition. Additionally, Joao Neves will be rested while Achraf Hakimi is suspended.

Here is Les Parisiens' predicted starting XI against Nice.
