Prediction for Nice vs PSG
Last season, Nice left a mixed impression under Francesco Farioli. While they showed improvement, they couldn't secure a Champions League spot, finishing 5th. In Paris, Luis Enrique continued PSG's domestic dominance and led them to the Champions League semifinals, where they lost both legs but earned the board’s approval.
Kylian Mbappé, however, left Paris as a free agent. PSG also sold Manuel Ugarte to Manchester United for €50 million, and bid farewell to players like Carlos Soler, Juan Bernat, Sergio Rico, Mario Lemina, and Renato Sanches. While they didn’t purchase any megastars, they still spent around €170 million on players like Matvey Safonov, William Pacho, Cher Ndour, and João Neves. Meanwhile, Nice hired Franck Haise, who turned Lens from a Ligue 2 regular into France’s runner-up. After selling Khéphren Thuram and parting ways with Jean-Clair Todibo, Nice signed Tanguy Ndombele, Jonathan Clauss, Bombito, Youssoufa Moukoko, and a few other players.
PSG dropped points only in their draw with Reims. In the Champions League, it seemed they were heading for a 0-0 draw in the opening game, but Girona's Gazzaniga conceded a comical goal in the 90th minute. Arsenal didn’t make such mistakes and defeated PSG 2-0. Nice has been inconsistent, suffering a 0-2 loss to Marseille before demolishing Saint-Étienne 8-0. However, eight points from six matches is below expectations. In the Europa League, they started with a 1-1 draw against Real Sociedad and were then thrashed 4-1 by Lazio.
