This Sunday, the Aiglons welcome Paris Saint-Germain as part of the 7th day of Ligue 1. The team from Nice hosts the league leaders. All pre-match information can be found here.

Six matches in less than three weeks for OGC Nice! The Gym ends an incredible marathon just before the next international break. Franck Haise’s men need to react after the big defeat in the Europa League against Lazio (1-4). But the task won’t be easy as they face the leaders. Currently 9th in Ligue 1, the Aiglons need points to climb the standings.

On the other side, PSG experienced their first defeat of the season, on the Arsenal field (0-2). The Parisians are still unbeaten in Ligue 1 and are at the top of the standings, tied on points with AS Monaco. With 20 goals scored since the start of the season, Paris Saint-Germain has the best attack in the league.

With Ndombele and Cho starting?

For this match, Franck Haise remains without Melvin Bard, Terem Moffi, Gaëtan Laborde, and Morgan Sanson, who are injured. Returning against Lazio, Tanguy Ndombele and Mohamed-Ali Cho could reclaim a starting position in Franck Haise’s system. Finally, the Nice coach might make changes to his starting eleven to bring some physical freshness.

On the PSG side, Lucas Hernandez, Presnel Kimpembe, and Gonçalo Ramos are unavailable for this match. Excluded for disciplinary reasons against Arsenal, Ousmane Dembélé is expected to return to the Parisian squad.

Probable lineups

Nice: Bulka – Ndayishimiye, Bombito, Dante (C) – Clauss, Ndombele, Boudaoui, Abdi – Cho, Guessand, Boga

Paris: Donnarumma – Hakimi, Marquinhos (C), Pacho, Mendes – Zaïre-Emery, Vitinha, Neves – Dembélé, Lee, Barcola.
