Paris Saint-Germain travel to Nice on Saturday firmly entrenched in crisis mode.
The club has fallen out with star forward Kylian Mbappe over image rights and have lost three of their last four games on the pitch, dropping out of the Champions League and loosening their grip on the Ligue 1 title race. Rumours on the future of Lionel Messi continue to swirl, too.
Their upcoming opponents Nice are enjoying an 14-game unbeaten run and have the first leg of their Europa Conference League quarter final with Basel on the horizon, but are only eighth in Ligue 1.

PSG team news
Kylian Mbappe took aim at PSG for the use of his image in a video promoting club season tickets for the 2023/24 season. With tensions so high in Paris, that disagreement could be enough for the France captain to drop out of the starting XI.
His absence would add to an already troubling injury list, with Neymar, Presnel Kimpembe and Nordi Mukiele definitely sidelined. There are further doubts over the availability of Marco Verratti and Sergio Ramos.

PSG predicted lineup (3-5-2): Donnarumma; Pereira, Marquinhos, Bitshiabu; Hakimi, Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Sanches, Mendes; Messi, Ekitike.
Nice vs PSG score prediction
Reims (13) are the only side to have drawn more games than Nice (12) in Ligue 1 this season - Les Aiglons are unbeaten in all competitions since early January. However, five draws in their last six league games means they are only eighth.
PSG are one of the number of clubs in meltdown at the moment. They'll hope the photo issue with Mbappe is resolved quickly, as it's a sideshow they hardly need following their Champions League exit and two consecutive Ligue 1 defeats at home.
A third game with dropped points on the trot would be disastrous for PSG but they could edge a tight affair on Saturday.
Prediction: Nice 1-2 PSG
