4. Match against Nice

PSG are yet to face Lucien Favre’s men for the second time in the league. However OGC Nice don’t seem to be in the form they were in , in the first half of the season. PSG’s first encounter against OGC NIce in december ended in a well fought 2-2 draw . After the winter break, however, Nice have seemed to lost the enthusiasm.

Mario Balotelli’s antics that have resulted in him being sent off thrice already and an injury to the young in-form striker Alassane Plea has literally demolished Nice’s attack force and hence they’ve lost their once feared ability to score many goals. Though Nice and PSG are on the same points,  the Parisians are ahead of Nice on second place ,  on goal difference .

Comparing the current form of both the teams , when they meet later in April , Paris Saint Germain look to be the clear winners .

Assuming that both the teams don’t drop any points till they face each other ,  it’s clearly going to be PSG who’ll probably have the last laugh against one of their toughest competitions for the title this year.
