Preview: Nice vs PSG

After finally winning their first game, PSG will now turn their attention towards taking on Nice, who come into this match having suffered their first loss of the season. The hosts ended up on the wrong end of a 3-1 scoreline against Montpellier, but despite this, Les Aiglons will be hoping that their strong home form will help them take on a PSG side who will be missing quite a few players due to injury and suspension.

Thomas Tuchel's men had to work really hard to pick up a narrow 1-0 win over Metz, but it came at a a cost as Juan Bernat is now out injured for the long haul, while Abdou Diallo was sent off, thus adding to the visitors' growing suspension list. Star man Neymar is still out due to a multiple match ban following his involvement in a brawl after his team's defeat in Le Classique last weekend, along with Layvin Kurzawa and Leandro Paredes. Meanwhile, Kylian Mbappé may finally be able to return to the fold after testing positive for COVID-19, but his involvement remains to be seen and will naturally depend on how he's recovered from illness.

It's quite unusual to see Les Parisiens struggling for goals and points so early on, but it's also important to note that their campaign didn't end until August 23rd due to their participation in the Champions League final. After finishing as runners-up, they had just over a fortnight of rest before the current Ligue 1 campaign picked up, so there's still a bit of fatigue among the players.

With that in mind, Nice will hope that their strong home form will give them a much-needed edge in this upcoming tie; in fact, Patrick Viera's side have lost just one of their last 11 Ligue 1 games on home turf. So, although PSG have won six of their last seven away games versus Les Aiglons, this naturally will be the time in order for the hosts to try to pick up a very valuable three points - as PSG will eventually get back into their groove soon enough.
