PSG vs Nice Prediction

PSG have blown hot and cold this season and are yet to click as a unit under Mauricio Pochettino. Lionel Messi assisted all three of PSG's goals over the weekend and will want to take it up a notch on Wednesday.

Nice have assembled a talented squad this season and could give their opponents a run for their money. PSG have plenty of firepower in their ranks, however, and should be able to win this game.

Prediction: PSG 3-1 Nice
