PSG will seek to make it seven consecutive wins across all the competition this weekend when they host Nice at Parc des Princes in the ninth round of the Ligue 1. Kickoffs on October 1 at 22:00 EAT.
The rampant champions stood firm to hold on for their sixth win on the bounce in all competitions – and fourth in a row in Ligue 1 – which allowed them to open up a two-point gap over Marseille at the top of the standings after Les Olympiens. PSG has strung together a 25-game unbeaten streak at home in Ligue 1.
PSG will want another win following 0-1 Ligue 1 triumph over Lyon in their most recent game. In that match, Paris Saint-Germain had 66% possession, 15 shots with eight of them on target and a goal scored by Lionel Messi (5′). Lyon got 12 shots with three of them on target.
Meanwhile Nice takes this trip to the home of the champions languishing in 13th place in the table with eight points after eight matches and will certainly aim to make a statement after Galtier’s acrimonious summer departure, which should not be ruled out given that both of their league wins this term have come on the road.
Nice will head into this game looking to make amends following 0-1 defeat at the hands of Angers in their previous game. In that match, Nice had 50% possession and 18 shots with five of them on target. Angers got 16 shots with three of them on target and a goal by Nabil Bentaleb (43′).
