- Paris FC have not won in five matches, with three draws and two defeats.
- Nice are undefeated in four of their last five matches, with each of their three most recent games ending level.
- Liam Rosenior's men are unbeaten in the last two head-to-head encounters (Won 1, Drawn 1).
Paris FC in a rut
Les Parisiens had a disappointing start to Ligue 1 2026/2027 with a 0-0 draw at ES Troyes AC on Sunday, following a 3-2 friendly loss at Angers SCO a week prior. In five games, they have yet to record a win in any competition (Drawn 3, Lost 2).
Liam Rosenior has set them up to play a possession-first game, with flexible shapes and an aggressive pressing style to try and force turnovers. It has not worked well in the opening fixtures, but they might get some joy against a compact Nice side on Sunday.
Les Aiglons will keep it tight
Olivier Pantaloni's men have been solid in their last three matches, although they are yet to find a winner. Draws with Cagliari (0-0), Hull City (0-0) and FC Lorient (0-0) mean they sit in ninth place, with one point from one game.
Paris FC are a slight favourite at 2.1 ahead of Nice (3.35) and the draw (3.4) for this fixture at the Stade Jean Bouin, which reflects the confidence that Pantaloni's side have ahead of the game.
Back the draw or Paris FC edge
This is a classic clash of styles between a team that likes to have the ball and one that is perfectly happy to sit tight and counter-punch. Paris FC will have the edge on their own turf, however, and they won't be the worst for the run they're on, as they are a side that have to work for their wins.
They beat Nice 1-0 in Ligue 1 2025/2026 and are unbeaten in two meetings with Les Aiglons, who also failed to win their last visit here.
Under 2.5 goals at 1.9 looks the best value to suit the scenario, but a home edge or tight stalemate appears the most likely outcome of this game. Paris FC's only home game in their current five-match run was a draw, so Les Parisiens have yet to make their own patch a fortress.
Luca Koleosho has been Paris FC's most reliable finisher in their games to date, scoring two of their two goals across the last five, while Sofiane Diop has been the most lethal Nice finisher, scoring two of their six across their previous five.
