Ligue 1: PSG vs OGC Nice Match Preview

Date: Saturday, October 1st, 2022.

Time: 8:00 PM

Venue: Parc de Princes, Paris France.

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.
