Nice - Paris Saint Germain predictions

Beating Paris Saint Germain will not be easy, but we believe Nice are more than capable of doing so. The matchup is somewhat balanced, after all, so all three possible outcomes are still on the table.

Paris Saint Germain are coming into this match as underdogs, though the difference is not overwhelming. Even so, they’re not all that likely to win. An Away Win bet is priced at 2.61 with top online bookies, which could bring a decent profit.

Nice are coming off from a 1:0 HT/FT victory. It might not be the result goal-hungry fans would have expected but the hosts still head into the Wednesday clash in good spirits.

Paris Saint Germain got much more than what they bargained for the last tim we saw them. Both top bookmakers and pundits expected them to destroy Toulouse. After struggling to break the deadlock in the first half, everything went awry and they finished on a crushing 1:3 defeat.

Nice have a reputation for consistently scoring high, especially in the past few matches. Records show more than 5 goals scored in total over their previous 3 outings, which is a fairly strong result.

It’s easy to spot a certain trend when looking over Paris Saint Germain’s recent history – and not in a good way. Their latest appearances were marked by a high concession rate. For example, their previous 3 matches featured more than 5 conceded goals.

Placed at number 5th in the standings, the hosts are one of the better-performing teams this season. They’ll need to keep it up if they wish to see the Europa League, however, and Paris Saint Germain will pose a tough challenge.

Paris Saint Germain are leading the pack with 70 points earned over the 32 games played in the season so far. The end of the season is getting quite close now, so they’ll have to take care not to lose their nerve so close to the finish line. This game is likely one of the hardest hurdles they still have to jump, so they’ll at least be well motivated.

Nice and Paris Saint Germain previously played against each other this season, and Paris Saint Germain were defeated – though it was an admittedly close defeat. Nice are considered the underdogs despite their victory and the home-field advantage, though.

Our tip is to risk an Over 3.5 Goals wager. The 1 are worth giving up the relative safety of a simpler Over 2.5. That said, it’s still a relatively riskier bet than what some punters might prefer.
