PSG vs Nice

On Friday Paris Saint-Germain as French champions will host Nice at the Parc des Princes while pursuing canonical historical feats with treble ambitions and unbeaten league championship accomplishments.

PSG holds the Ligue 1 championship but their main objective involves something that no French top-flight team has ever attained.

PSG concentrates entirely on finishing the league season without defeat as they prepare for their upcoming semi-final against Arsenal and Coupe de France final versus Reims.

The rearranged match between PSG and Nantes ended as a draw which elevated PSG closer to setting a new unbeaten mark in top flight football alongside their historical 39-match away streak across Ligue 1.

Nantes holds the longest undefeated opening season with 32 matches while their double draw against the champions was unable to prevent PSG from extending their undefeated streak to 30 games during this season.

PSG continued their Ligue 1 title challenge following their draw because they can reach 90 points through victories in their final four matches of the season despite losing their undefeated streak.

The Nantes club's recent success at defending against PSG during this season could be followed by Nice as they shared a draw against them in October.

Nice lost that match due to an own goal from Moise Bombito, but it wasn't an isolated incident because the visitors have a strong record in this matchup.

Nice has won four of their past nine trips to the Parc des Princes, including their most recent league visit in September 2023, where they defeated the team 3-2, after losing in the Coupe de France here the previous season.

Franck Haise's team, who had gone five games without a win until defeating Angers last weekend, is losing form at the worst possible moment.

Haise's team begins the weekend in fifth place, but unless they can put up a spectacular display right away, they risk losing distance to the defending champs.

Nice will hope that the two-point gap between them and the top four does not become insurmountable by the conclusion of the next weekend because they will be playing Reims, Rennes, and Brest after this trip to the capital. These three teams have nothing left to play for but their dignity.

If Frank Schmidt's team wins this weekend and Heidenheim loses against Stuttgart, they will be eight points ahead of both Hoffenheim, who are in 15th position, and St Pauli, who are in 14th place.

The visiting team has lost three straight going into Friday's match, and they have only won three of their last 23 games while losing 15.

The visitors have been far more resilient away from home, as seen by the fact that they have only lost once in their previous five away games, drew twice and won twice.
