PSG look to be reaching top gear at present, and they will be looking to stretch their healthy advantage in Ligue 1 on Saturday when they host Troyes. The visitors have gone four without a fixture in the French top-flight, and there will be few more daunting places to end that negative sequence this weekend.
Ligue 1 Preview
This could be a very bad time to come up against PSG, as the front three look to be playing their very best football of the season. There were goals for Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe in midweek, as the Parisians ran Maccabi Haifa rigid in the Champions League. However, the focus switches back to Ligue 1 this weekend, as PSG look to extend their five-point advantage at the top of the standings.
PSG has been in fine form domestically throughout the season, as they have won ten of the 12 games that they have played. No side has scored more or conceded fewer than the Parisians this season, and they come into this fixture having recorded a 3-0 win on the road against Ajaccio last weekend. Mbappe scored twice in that win, while Messi also found the net.
Troyes currently sit in the middle of the standings in France, but they have gone four without victory coming into this fixture. They have recorded three wins from 12 games this term, but they will be happy enough that they sit four points above the drop zone.
Troyes come into this fixture after being held to a third draw in four fixtures in their last match. That latest draw came against Lorient, as Rony Lopes found the net for the home side. However, Lorient denied Troyes maximum points with an 81st minute equaliser.
PSG vs Troyes Head to Head
Troyes have conceded more goals against PSG than in any other side in Ligue 1. Meanwhile, the Parisians are unbeaten in their previous ten home fixtures against their rivals this weekend, having won on eight occasions.
PSG vs Troyes Prediction
PSG have been in excellent form throughout the season, and they look incredibly well placed to pick up maximum points in this fixture. The form of the front three has been dazzling so far this season, and we wouldn’t be surprised to see Messi, Neymar and Mbappe on the scoresheet in a 4-0 win this weekend.
