PSG have responded with straight wins since their loss to Dortmund in the Champions League and they will be seeking another win when they host Nice in Ligue 1 this Sunday. PSG go to this game top of Ligue 1 having managed 68 points while Nice are sixth on 41 points. For a moment, it seemed Olympique Marseille would give PSG a real run in the Ligue 1 title race but the Parisians are coasting to yet another league title, having opened a 12-point gap, with a game in hand. They head to this game having secured a place in the Champions League quarter finals after a 2-0 win over Dortmund, which will give them great confidence. They have scored at least two goals in their last four matches but have just two clean sheets in their last nine matches. In Ligue 1, PSG have not lost any of their last 15 matches, winning 13. In each of their last four home matches in Ligue 1, PSG have scored at least four goals but while they are sharp in attack, they haven’t been equally good in defence. They have two clean sheets in their last five home league matches and have conceded eight goals in the process. PSG are unbeaten in five matches against Nice and have scored two or more goals in four of the five.

Nice, just like PSG, have not lost any of their last four matches, only that they have won just two of the four, unlike PSG who have four straight wins. Nice have one clean sheet in their last five matches and in two of the five matches, they have scored two or more goals. The loss to Nimes was just the second in their last 15 matches and Nice will be hoping to spark a shock here. Four of their last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals and having beaten Monaco in their last game they will want to build on it. It is their away form that will worry them more though; Nice have not lost in their last five away matches, but four of these have been draws. They have just one win in 12 away matches and have just two clean sheets in the last 14 away matches. They have scored in seven of the last 10 Ligue 1 away matches, a run they will hope to keep going to this clash.
