PSG’s Ligue 1 title defence takes Christophe Galtier’s side to Nice on Saturday as they look to recover some positive form ahead of the end of season run-in.

Ahead of their trip to mid-table Nice, PSG have a mere three-point advantage over their title rivals Lens, who will be visiting Paris next weekend in a title showdown.

Nice vs PSG betting odds
Despite their recent struggles, PSG are still in a strong position to retain the league title, but Galtier needs a positive result at Nice, to reduce the pressure ahead of hosting Lens next weekend.
The hosts have drawn their last five Ligue 1 matches, and PSG will look to break that streak, with a first league defeat for the home side at the Allianz Riviera since the start of 2023.
