PSG vs Nice Prediction: Can the Parisians Avenge Their April Loss?

Welcome to our PSG vs Nice prediction, where we break down the story behind one of Ligue 1’s most intriguing November fixtures. As Saturday, November 1, 2025, approaches, fans are buzzing about whether Paris Saint-Germain can avenge their shock home defeat to Nice earlier this year. With both teams bringing their own tactical flavor to the Parc des Princes, and with plenty at stake, this is more than just a regular league game—especially for punters eyeing the best betting odds and tips.

Form, Injuries, and Tactical Battles

Let’s set the stage: PSG, perched at the summit of Ligue 1 with 20 points from 9 matches, are in fine form. Fresh off a 7.6 Champions League demolition and a 3-0 Ligue 1 cruise, the Parisians have scored 19 and conceded just 8. Their home record? Imposing—unbeaten, with three wins and a draw. Nice, sitting in 8th, have been more unpredictable: 4 wins, 2 draws, and 3 defeats, with 14 goals scored and 15 conceded. The contrast in squad value is stark—PSG’s €1.15bn versus Nice’s €177.60m—but as their last head to head showed, football isn’t played on spreadsheets.

Injury-wise, PSG have a few headaches. Fabián Ruiz and João Neves are out, while Achraf Hakimi’s status is still up in the air after suspension. Luis Enrique has made it clear he won’t rush anyone back. Nice are missing Melvin Bard (suspended), plus several long-term absentees including Mohamed Abdelmonem and Youssouf Ndayishimiye. Morgan Sanson is still sidelined until next year.

How Will They Play?

• PSG: Luis Enrique’s men are all about possession and vertical passing, with a focus on collective movement since Mbappé’s departure. Expect them to dominate the ball (our prediction: 75% possession!) and look for quick combinations through the middle. Their pressing triggers are among the best in Europe, so Nice’s defenders will have little time to breathe.
• Nice: Francesco Farioli’s side are defensively disciplined, with Todibo and Dante marshalling the back line. They’ll sit deep and spring counters, relying on Jérémie Boga’s dribbling and Ansu Fati’s clever runs. Set pieces could be their best hope, but they’ll need to be clinical with limited chances.

What Happened Last Time?

The last PSG vs Nice head to head at Parc des Princes ended in a 3-1 shock win for the visitors, derailing PSG’s unbeaten dreams. That result is still fresh in the minds of both squads. Nice also proved they can spring a surprise away from home, holding Lille to a 2-2 draw as big underdogs just months ago.
