Nice, often considered a modest opponent, is known for causing upsets against prominent French teams. For the 13th day, the Aiglons face a challenging match as they travel to Paris to take on PSG.
Malian midfielder Mahamane Traoré and his teammates are well aware of the difficulty posed by players like Ibrahimovic and Cavani. Traoré acknowledged the challenge ahead, stating, “It’s going to be difficult, we know that. They have good players, very efficient and have never lost this season. We will have to prepare…”
Despite the tough competition, Traoré remains ambitious and emphasized that the team travels with the intention to win. He stated, “Like everywhere, we travel to win. Certainly not to defend with eleven and hope for a draw.”
The match at the Parc des Princes will see the return of Edinson Cavani for PSG but will miss the injured Marco Verratti. Nice arrives with Eric Bautheac and Mahamane Traoré back in the group but without goalkeepers David Ospina and Mouez Hassen due to injuries. The probable compositions for the two teams are as follows:
Paris Saint-Germain:
- Starting XI: Sirigu – Van der Wiel, Marquinhos, Thiago Silva, Maxwell – Rabiot, Motta, Matuidi – Pastore – Ibrahimovic, Cavani.
Nice:
- Starting XI: Veronese – Puel, Bodmer, Pejcinivoc, Kolodziejczak – N. Mendy, Digard – Eysseric, M Traoré, Brüls – Cvitanich.
