After demolishing Swedish side Malmo FF in the Champions League, PSG have now secured their spot of 16 alongside teams like Barcelona, Juventus, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Manchester City, and Bayern Munich. As such, they can now turn their attention to building on what already is an impressive 13 points lead over second-placed Lyon. Their task will be made even easier especially given their opponent - Troyes - who are rooted to the bottom of the table and are still chasing their first three points of the season.
PSG
It will be an emotional match for Laurent Blanc's side, who will be playing their first home match since the tragedy in Paris back on November 13th. As things stand, the Ligue 1 race looks well done and dusted but don't expect the hosts to just sit back and take things lightly. They are on the cusp of making history with the most points earned after 14 games: 38. Should they win, they will have overtaken the previous record of 38 set back by themselves during the 1985/1986 season and RC Paris during the 1960/1961 campaign.
In addition, Les Parsiens have won their last eight games on the trot which is presently the best run in Ligue 1 so far. They will also be welcoming a team that have had a bad run of form against them; in fact, in their nine previous trips to Paris they have not been able to defeat the hosts. And things stand that certainly does not look like it's going to change.
Blanc will be without the services of Serge Aurier and Javier Pastore as well as Marco Verratti for this game, but given the gulf in class between the two sides, the hosts should fare just fine without three of their key players.
Troyes
As PSG inch closer to breaking a record, Troyes are on the cusp of setting an unfortunate one. They are the first team since Grenoble during the 2010/2011 season not to win a single one of their opening matches, and this could not be a worse time to take on a PSG side that has been in imperious form in the league.
They have only scored 7 goals - with Corentin Jean being the only player to have scored more than one goal for his side. Jean-Marc Furlan's men have struggled horribly on the road, with just one draw, and in their last six away games, they have conceded a whopping 16 goals, including 6-0 humiliating loss to Marseille.
Indeed, this looks like to be a match of damage control for the visitors, who are surely in for a long afternoon at the Parc des Princes. It will also be a great opportunity for Blanc to feature some of his younger players to perhaps keep some of the more key stars rested; however, it will be interesting to see how and if he tinkers with his line-up again of a game that looks set to be a straight-forward three points in the bag for the reigning Ligue 1 champions.
