Nice v Paris SG: title push meets survival fight | OneFootball

Nice host Paris SG in Ligue 1 on Saturday, 21 March 2026 in Nice, with the visitors chasing top spot and the hosts looking to pull further clear of the drop zone.

Nice and Paris SG meet with the head to head leaning towards the visitors, who won 1-0 in November 2025 and have generally edged recent clashes.

Les Aiglons arrive off a 2-0 win at Angers after a heavy 4-0 home defeat by Rennes, while Paris SG's momentum includes back to back Champions League wins over Chelsea and league victories around a blip against Monaco.

Availability could matter. Paris SG are without suspended Achraf Hakimi, while Bradley Barcola and Quentin Ndjantou are sidelined. Les Aiglons list several absentees, including Tanguy Ndombele, Ali Abdi, Mohamed Ali Cho, Isak Jansson, Kojo Peprah Oppong, Moïse Bombito and Everton Pereira da Silva.

Paris SG's season profile points to control: 68% average possession, 91.36% passing accuracy and 13 clean sheets. Ousmane Dembélé has eight league goals and Vitinha leads their assist chart with seven, so Les Aiglons' defence, conceding 1.8 goals per game, may be stretched. At the other end, Les Aiglons have delivered 366 open play crosses at 22.13% accuracy but only three headed goals, so runners like Sofiane Diop, who has seven league goals, could be key.

Paris SG sit second on 57 points and a win would move them to 60 and keep the pressure on leaders Lens. Les Aiglons are 15th on 27 points and victory to reach 30 could ease relegation fears and widen the gap to the play-off place.
