Form
Nice
Nice has had a mixed season, currently situated in the lower half of Ligue 1, struggling to find consistency in performance. They’ve achieved a few recent wins, including a 2-0 victory against Angers, which helped lift morale after a rough patch and provided a rare clean sheet.
PSG
PSG’s last match ended in a 3-1 defeat to Monaco on March 6, 2026, following a previous win against Le Havre on February 28. PSG is at the top of Ligue 1 with 57 points from 25 games (18 wins, 3 draws, 4 losses), but their recent league performance shows two wins and two losses in the last four games. Despite this, their overall form remains strong, bolstered by Champions League success, including a 5-2 victory over Chelsea on March 11 and a 3-0 win on March 17 (8-2 aggregate).
