PREVIEW
Paris Saint Germain comes to the match on the back of thumping 7-2 victory against Maccabi Haifa in the Champions League.
Messi, Neymar and Mbappe – the team’s frontline was firing on all cylinders in the Champions League win as it demolished the Israeli side.
Going into the Ligue 1 match having beating Ajaccio 3-0 last week, Paris will look to maintain its prefect start to the season. The team has played 12 matches and won 10. It is top of league, two points clear of 2nd placed Lens, which has played one game more.
Troyes, though currently in 11th position with 13 points, is just four points clear of the relegation zone. Its last two matches have been draws against Lorient and Ajaccio.
While a trip to Parc des Princes is as tough as a fixture can get, Troyes will bank on its forwards Mama Balde and Rony Lopes to pull of an upset over the French giant.
