Parisians Going Through Rough Patch
PSG remains the soccer betting favorite to win the Ligue 1 title, but things have turned out to be a little more difficult than expected. Lens and Marseille are only six points behind. As for Nice, the Eagles are out of the title race, but they’re still aiming to finish in the top five to qualify for a UEFA competition.
Nice: Getting Used to Draws
Nice is one of the six Ligue 1 teams that haven’t lost in their last five games, but the Eagles drew four times. Most recently drawing 1-1 against Angers on Sunday. Angers finished with three more shots on goal, meaning goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel deserves a lot of credit for that point.
Before that, Nice also drew 1-1 against Lorient despite finishing with 16 shots in total, seven more than the Black and Orange. Gaetan Laborde was the scorer.
Laborde is one of the main reasons for you to consider including the Eagles in your Ligue 1 picks since he has scored 10 goals. However, the team’s top scorer title belongs to Teremas Moffi, with 16. This is an extremely talented roster that also includes Khephren Thuram, Aaron Ramsey and Nicolas Pepe.
Nice has gone unbeaten in its last 10 home games, going 5-5-0 with 17 goals for and only six against. It finished with a clean sheet in five of those matches.
PSG: Missing Neymar
Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe are truly missing Neymar, who’s out of action due to an injury. They failed to lead PSG to the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals after losing the series against Bayern Munich with a 3-0 aggregate.
Regarding Ligue 1, PSG recently lost 2-0 to Rennes and 1-0 to Lyon, both at home.
We’re still talking about the league’s top-scoring team with 68 goals. Also, the second-best defensive unit after allowing 29 goals in 29 games. Only Lens has allowed fewer goals with 21. PSG owns a 10-1-3 record when playing on the road, winning six of its last 10 Ligue 1 road games.
That’s why PSG controls the soccer odds. There’s also the fact that Presnel Kimpembe, Sergio Ramos, Nordi Mukiele and Carlos Soler are expected to return after missing their last match for different reasons.

Nice vs PSG Picks and Prediction
I was going to recommend you bet on the over, but it’s offering a -140 price in the sportsbook, while PSG is -125. That’s just too good a deal not to take, especially since it hasn’t lost three consecutive Ligue 1 matches in the last seven seasons. Nice will put up a good fight, as it did in the first leg, and enough for the total to go over, but follow the Ligue 1 lines and our advice, the reigning champs will get back into the winning column.
The PSG is listed at -125 in our Vegas Ligue 1 lines. This means that if you wager $100 on PSG, you have a chance to win $80. Nice is +295, offering a chance to win $295 on a $100 wager.
The implied probability attached to the betting lines gives PSG a 55.56% chance to win, with Nice at 25.32%.
