Paris FC team overview
Paris FC returned to the French top flight last season and were pretty solid, eventually finishing mid-table. It is still early, but they look good for another similar year. Last weekend, the team from Stade Jean Bouin opened the 2026/27 campaign with a goalless draw on the road against Troyes. The visitors were significantly closer to victory, as Liam Rosenior's team finished with xG of 1.80, while the hosts had only 0.41.
Paris FC struggled in the opening round, and we should expect them to sign another striker in the coming days. According to reports, they are interested in Jonathan David. The Canadian is not in Juventus head coach Luciano Spalletti's plans, and Paris FC is one of the teams trying to lure him. Another option could be Nurnberg's Mohamed Ali Zoma. On the other hand, it would be surprising if Ilan Kebbal remained with the team, as a few clubs are interested in him.
Paris FC have some injury problems. Jonathan Ikone, Emmanuel Mbemba, and Nhoa Sangui are out for Sunday, while Pablo Pagis is questionable.

Nice team overview
Last season was terrible for Nice. They finished 16th in Ligue 1 and needed to beat St. Etienne in the relegation playoff to remain in the French top flight. It is clear that Nice are no longer among the best French teams, but they hope for, at least, a less stressful year. Last weekend, in the opening round, Olivier Pantaloni's team played to a 0-0 draw at home against Lorient. The teams were pretty even at that time, and splitting points seemed the most realistic outcome.
Nice are active in the transfer window, too. On Thursday, it was announced that forward Mohamed Ali-Cho left the team for Hull. Kojo Peprah Oppong could be the next player to depart, as he has already arrived in Istanbul to complete a move to Fenerbahce. On the other hand, Nice are also looking to strengthen their attack and could sign striker Sasa Kalajdzic in the coming days.
Laurent Abergel, Moise Bombito, and Axel Witsel will not travel, while Jonathan Clauss is questionable and his status will get clearer closer to the kickoff.

Prediction
Both these teams have struggled in attack lately. Paris FC scored two goals in the last three matches, including preseason. On the other hand, Nice have been goalless in their previous four games. Also, in last season's two meetings between these two teams, both games went under 2.5 goals. With both teams having problems in offense, we are not likely to see more than two goals on Sunday at Stade Jean Bouin.
3 Reasons why we shouldn't expect more than two goals in this match
- Paris FC scored only two goals in the last three matches
- Nice are goalless in the previous four games
- Both H2H matches last season between the two sides have gone under 2.5 goals
