H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results
Paris Saint-Germain Team Overview
🔵 All thoughts of PSG's head coach and players are focused on the upcoming Champions League semi-final clash against Arsenal on Tuesday. Securing the top European club competition is an obvious priority for the Parisians as the season winds down. With the Ligue 1 title already in the bag, they can afford to overlook the congested schedule. Recent league matches against Le Havre (2-1) and Nantes (1-1) saw a mixed lineup take to the field. Luis Enrique is keen on managing player workloads to ensure they're at peak performance for these crucial fixtures. The same approach is expected against Nice.
🔗 Last Tuesday, in a rescheduled Matchday 29 fixture against Nantes, PSG set a new record for unbeaten away runs in domestic leagues among Europe's top five leagues. Previously held by AC Milan, who went 38 away matches unbeaten in Serie A from 1991 to 1993, PSG's streak reached 39 after the Nantes game. Luis Enrique commented on this achievement: “Yes, it’s a very special day to break Milan’s record, which is magnificent, and it started with Christophe Galtier, so I tip my hat to him as well. Everything is great, except we would have liked a win tonight.”
❌ PSG have no injury concerns, but it's likely that many of the starting players will either play limited minutes or not feature at all.

Nice Team Overview
🔴 Nice are currently sitting in 5th place in Ligue 1, just two points shy of the coveted 4th spot. They share the same number of points with two other contenders-Lyon and Strasbourg. In such a tight race, every point is crucial, making Friday's clash against the French champions on their home turf a must-win. The Eagles have managed this feat recently, having secured a 3-2 victory last season. Notably, that match was early in the season when PSG were highly motivated, unlike the upcoming encounter.
🔗 In the previous round, Franck Haise's side finally snapped their five-match winless streak (0-2-3) by defeating Angers at home (2-1). Nice dominated the game, although the suspense lingered until the very end.
📣 Franck Haise commented on PSG's lack of motivation for the match against Nice: "The same can be said about many of Paris's matches, yet they still win them. Of course, it's better to beat them when they're already champions; they have significant collective goals, that's obvious. They aim to win the Champions League, remain unbeaten in Ligue 1... Is it better? I don't know, but what is certain is that if we don't excel in terms of attacking and defensive efficiency and effort, we'll find it as challenging as any team playing against PSG."
🔗 Nice have scored 56 goals in Ligue 1 2024/25, marking the highest tally after 30 matches in a top-flight season since 1977/78 (61) and their best total for an entire campaign since 2016/17 (63).
❌ Due to knee issues, team captain and 41-year-old central defender Dante is likely to miss the match. Additionally, Franck Haise will be without midfielder Tanguy Ndombele (1 goal and 2 assists in 18 matches) and key central defender Moïse Bombito (24 matches in Ligue 1).
