Paris Saint-Germain vs. Nice Coupe de France Match Analysis
The prestigious Parc des Princes is the setting for the eagerly anticipated quarter-final of the Coupe de France, where Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) will welcome Nice.
As both teams prepare to face off on Wednesday night, the stakes couldn’t be higher in their quest for silverware.
Match Preview
PSG drew for the third time in a row in Ligue 1, playing out a 2-2 stalemate at home with Reims.
After reaching the last 16 of the Champions League, PSG has made it into the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France for the first time in three seasons, following back-to-back last-16 exits.
This was surprising given their previous strong performances in the competition.
If PSG can overcome Nice and then Rennes, they would have a great chance of reclaiming the trophy, as they would potentially face Lyon or Valenciennes in the final.
Nice won 3-2 at the Parc des Princes in Ligue 1 this season, but their recent poor form continued with a defeat to Montpellier.
This has left them unlikely to challenge for the Champions League spots.
Nice will draw inspiration from their performance in the Coupe de France in 2022 when they beat PSG on penalties in the last 16, before being finalists that year.
In the 50 previous meetings between these two teams, PSG have claimed 26 victories while Nice have won 14, and they have drawn in 10.
