Paris Saint-Germain vs Nice
Herrin Kendrick; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Chelsea to Win and Over 2.5 Goals
| |
10/11 - odds when tipped |  |
Reasoning Chelsea's strong home form and Manchester United's defensive woes make this a compelling pick. With the Blues eager to secure Champions League qualification and United's backline in disarray, a high-scoring home win looks likely at the Bridge. | |
Key Stats:
- PSG are unbeaten in their last 30 Ligue 1 fixtures this season, chasing an invincible campaign.
- Nice have won 4 of their last 9 visits to the Parc des Princes – more than most French clubs can boast.
- Gonçalo Ramos has contributed to 4 goals in his last 3 home matches, showing signs of finding consistency.
Rationale
Paris Saint-Germain are marching towards an unparalleled Ligue 1 record, aiming to finish the campaign without a single defeat. After clinching the title weeks ahead of schedule, the Parisians now have their sights set on history. Despite a tough midweek draw against Nantes, Luis Enrique’s team have shown remarkable depth, rotation, and resilience. Against Nice, they meet a side who’ve proven tricky in recent years at the Parc des Princes. The visitors triumphed here 3-2 last season and held PSG earlier in this campaign, indicating they know how to unsettle the champions.
However, PSG’s bench strength remains frightening. Even with players like Ousmane Dembélé, Nuno Mendes, and Kvaratskhelia potentially rested for the Champions League semi-final against Arsenal, talents like Gonçalo Ramos, Lee Kang-in, and Barcola offer flair and firepower. Nice will pose a threat — Ali Abdi’s recent goals and Bard’s dynamism bring energy — but their form has dipped, and Bombito’s absence in defence weakens them further. Expect PSG to secure the win but concede along the way, given their rotational defence and Nice’s counter-attacking setup.
