Team News

Paris Saint Germain

  • PSG come into this game on the back of a humiliating loss at Evian where their spectacular run of 25 consecutive undefeated matches came to an end.
  • Laurent Blanc is only without Thiago Motta who is struggling with a niggle in his left thigh.

Sochaux

  • Sochaux travel to the Parc des Princes in what promises to be a tense game.
  • Thomas Guerbert and Jerome Roussillion are both still out for Sochaux. They are joined on the sidelines by Kalilou Traore, Sebastien Roudet, Petrus Boumal and Loic Poujol.
  • Simon Pouplin injured himself against Reims and Cedric Bakambu is a doubt with a sore shoulder.

Prediction

  • Sochaux have been plagued with injuries with close to half of their starting line-up out for successive matches. Hervé Renard’s man-management has been spot on and Emmanuel Mayuka has outplayed out of his skin, but Sochaux still lag in last place in Ligue 1. They won’t be expecting much here.
  • Sochaux have conceded the highest tally of goals away from home (22) in Ligue 1. Laurent Blanc will know that and he is expected to take full advantage, starting an attacking trio of Ezequiel Lavezzi, Edinson Cavani, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
  • Roy Contout and Sebastien Corchia form a decent pair on the right side for Les Lionceaux. If the away side are to take anything from this match, they will need big performances from those two.
