PSG vs Nice is another big Ligue 1 test for Christopher Gailter, who looks to impress his new employee, who expect him to win both the Ligue 1 title and the Champions League at the end of the season.
They are looking forward to extending their lead at the top of the table when they play Favre OGC Nice.
PSG vs Nice: Preview
Paris-Saint-German continued its impressive run after defeating Olympic Lyon by a goal, which was scored by Lionel Messi in the 5th minute of the match.
Alexander Lacazette of Olympic Lyon also scored an equalizer for the club but the VAR struck it out. Afterward, PSG’s defence did everything possible to stop Lyon from scoring.
That was PSG’s fourth win in a row in the league. They have also recorded two wins in a row in the Champions. The victory over Olympic Lyon put them two points ahead of second-placed Marseille, who drew 1-1 with Rennes.
If Olympic Marseille defeat Angers, PSG could be dethroned before their Saturday match against Nice. PSG fans are expecting their team to return to the top of the table with a win.
OGC Nice lost their last match against Angers and the manager’s future is already in doubt. The 10 men of OGC Nice fell for Nabil Bentaleb.
Given that both of their league victories this season have come away from home, Favre’s team, who is now languishing in 13th position in the standings, will undoubtedly look to make a statement following Galtier’s contentious exit in the summer.

Jean-Clair Todibo, who has been OGC Nice’s best player, was red carded in the last match and is serving a one-match ban. The only injury concern for OGC Nice is Aaron Ramsey.
