It's still early in the Ligue 1 season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Nice - Paris Saint Germain preview!

Paris Saint Germain could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Ligue 1 game only four sleeps ago.

These teams have little in common geographically as Paris Saint Germain have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Nice form and stats

The hosts won their first Ligue 1 game here at Allianz Riviera, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Nice last season were 8 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses from 15 games.

No payout for Nice in their previous match, an away game at Montpellier that ended in defeat 1-3. In the preceding match a 2-0 victory visiting Strasbourg.

Walter Benítez had a busy but productive day in the Montpellier match. Despite making ten saves the loss could not be prevented.

Nice has scored 2 goals so far and conceded 1 goal from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.

Paris Saint Germain form and stats

Paris Saint Germain have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the Ligue 1 were 10 victories, 1 draw and 2 defeats from 13 fixtures.

Impressive finishing from Julian Draxler secured the home win 1-0 against Metz in their previous game. A loss against Olympique Marseille was the result prior to that, in a home game.

A heroic performance from Paris in their game against Metz last time out. Things got complicated when Abdou Diallo was sent off in the 65th minute with the match level. Despite the red card the team were able to pull off a 1-0 victory! The end of the last match, against Metz, was very satisfying as Julian Draxler scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

It's early days yet, but Paris Saint Germain has scored 0 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).

Head 2 Head
