Paris Saint-Germain preview: Still at the top
Luis Enrique and his Paris Saint-Germain side begin the 11th match day of the 2025/26 Ligue 1 campaign sitting at the top-of-the-table, a point ahead of Monaco but only four points ahead of a Nice side that sit as low down as eighth.
PSG come into this one on the back of a 1-1 draw with Lorient at Stade du Moustoir in their most recent outing in midweek, meaning that the champions have actually won just two of their last six matches in Ligue 1.
Nice preview: Moving up Ligue 1
Despite off-field neglect from ownership group INEOS, who have made it clear that they are focusing on Manchester United, Nice have managed to overperform in recent weeks as they sit tucked inside the top-half of the table.
The southerners come into this one on the back of three successive victories ahead of this weekend as they come into this one on the back of a 2-0 defeat of Lille with goals from Sofiane Diop and Isak Jansson.

Paris Saint-Germain vs Nice prediction
Even when they were getting over the line and winning games at the start of the season, PSG were some way off their level of last season. That was to be expected after they played the FIFA Club World Cup over the summer. Nice started slowly but Lucien Faivre is beginning to get a tune out of them ahead of this one and it could be quite an entertaining encounter in which PSG are surely likely to come out on top.
