Paris Saint-Germain will look to record the fourth consecutive win this weekend when they welcome Troyes to Parc des Princes in the 13th round of the French top flight- Ligue 1. Match day schedules for October 29 at 18:00 EAT.
PSG is at the top of the Ligue 1 standings with 32 points, with a five-point gap between them and the second team in the table – which could be cut to two if Lens beat Toulouse on Friday – having dropped just four points from their 11 matches. Coming into this game, PSG is unbeaten in all their last six matches (DDDWWW).
PSG will aim for another win following 7-2 Champions League victory to beat Maccabi Haifa in their most recent match. In that game, Paris Saint-Germain had 62% possession, 21 shots with nine of them on target and goals scored by Lionel Messi (19′, 44′), Kylian Mbappé (32′, 64′), Neymar (35′) and Carlos Soler (84′). Maccabi Haifa got 13 shots with five of them on target and goals by Abdoulaye Seck (38′, 50′) and Sean Goldberg (67′ OG).
The visitors on the other hand should be satisfied with their mid-table standing after only earning promotion to the big time in 2021, and scoring 10 goals in their last five games is a reason for optimism, but they are still looking for their first clean sheet of the season, which is highly unlikely to come at the home of the champions. Coming into this game, Troyes won one of their last six matches (LWDLDD).
Troyes enters this meeting after 2-2 Ligue 1 draw versus FC Lorient in their most recent fixture. In that game, ESTAC had 43% possession, 13 shots with four of them on target and a goal scored by Rony Lopes (61′). Lorient got 21 shots with five of them on target and goals by Julien Laporte (34′ OG), Stéphane Diarra (50′) and Quentin Boisgard (81′).
Paris Saint-Germain vs. Troyes head to head
Paris Saint-Germain has an excellent record in the head to head history of this game having won 16 times from the 23 meetings since 1999; five matches ended in draws while Troyes won two times.
