Paris Saint-Germain visits Nice in a game with a lot of implications to determine the champions of 2022-2023 Ligue 1.
Nice are still looking to finish in the Top-5 of Ligue 1 to secure a place in next season’s European competitions. They are currently in eighth place with 45 points, chasing the likes of Lille, Rennes and Reims for the last place in the table.
Meanwhile, PSG have a six-point lead over Lens and Olympique Marseille at the top of Ligue 1. However, Paris Saint Germain are in the midst of a huge crisis with two consecutive defeats after the FIFA window broke (Rennes and Lyon). Lionel Messi has been booed and is almost out, Kylian Mbappe is not happy with recent decisions and they have been knocked out early in the Champions League again.
Nice team news
Nice could be thinking about the first leg of the quarterfinals at the UEFA Conference League against Basel and that might produce some changes to have the best players available for next Thursday’s matchup at Switzerland.
Nice probable lineup against PSG:
Kasper Schmeichel, Pablo Rosario, Jean-Clair Todibo, Dante, Alexis Beka Beka, Hicham Boudaoui, Khephren Thuram, Melvin Bard, Nicolas Pepe, Aaron Ramsey and Gaetan Laborde.
PSG team news
Christophe Galtier has no margin of error with only nine games remaining in Ligue 1. The recent failures have opened the door to other teams in the championship race and that’s why he must present a stellar lineup to secure a victory facing Nice. Sergio Ramos could be back from injury and the biggest doubt prior to the game is Marco Verratti.
PSG probable lineup against Nice:
Gianluigi Donnaruma, Danilo, Marquinhos, Sergio Ramos, Achraf Hakimi, Vitinha, Warren Zaire-Emery, Fabian Ruiz, Nuno Mendes, Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe.
