Tonight, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) will face OGC Nice in Ligue 1, kicking off at 21:05. This match comes after PSG’s successful qualification for the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals against Chelsea. Additionally, PSG’s match against Nantes was postponed last weekend.
In their previous encounter, Nice narrowly lost to PSG 0-1 due to a late goal. However, they aim to avenge that defeat and regain momentum after their recent victory over Angers (5-1). Currently, PSG is looking to reclaim its top position in the league standings.
Notable Player Changes for Nice
A significant change for Nice is the return of player Ndayishimiye. He makes his first start after more than 11 months, previously featuring against PSG on April 25. During that match, Nice became the first team to defeat PSG, who went on to be crowned the future UEFA Champions League winner for the 2024/25 season.
Coach Claude Puel has implemented further changes after Nice’s last match. Wahi and Diop will replace Boudache and Kevin Carlos in the lineup.
OGC Nice’s Starting XI
- Goalkeeper: Walter Benitez
- Defense: Dante (Captain), Zabarnyi, Pacho
- Midfield: Clauss, Bard, Mayulu, Zaïre-Emery, Vitinha
- Attack: Doué, Lee, Kvara
PSG’s Line-up Challenges
PSG’s head coach, Luis Enrique, faces several lineup challenges for tonight’s game. Key player Hakimi is suspended, while Barcola and Neves are sidelined due to injuries. Additionally, Ruiz is still recovering from an injury, and Dembélé will remain on the bench.
With these absences, PSG fields a significantly altered squad. Hernandez will start in defense alongside Zabarnyi, while Mayulu, who scored recently, will play in midfield.
