PSG aiming to extend Ligue 1 lead with win over Troyes
Paris St. Germain vs Troyes AC - 29/10/2022
2110
Paris Saint-Germain will welcome Troyes to the Parc des Princes on Saturday and could move eight points clear of second-place Lens with a win.
Troyes are 11th in the standings and go into round 13 winless in their last four games in Ligue 1. Last season Troyes went to the Parc des Prince and claimed a historic 2-2 draw versus the Parisians.
It was the only positive result Troyes achieved against Paris Saint-Germain in their last six meetings. Paris won five of the last six games versus Troyes, and confidence will be high amongst the home team.
Paris are joint-top of the Ligue 1 form table with 16 points from the last 18. They are on a two-game winning streak in the division. PSG’s defence played well across the last six games conceding just one time. The attack uncharacteristically scored just eight times in the last six fixtures.
Troyes took only six points from their last six games. A win and three draws enabled the Blues to collect those three points. Troyes scored an impressive 10 goals across their last six fixtures. However, they conceded 10 times to their last six opponents.
Troyes’ poor defending could make this a high-scoring game. Paris Saint-Germain had two of their last four games finish with over 2.5 goals scored. Four of Troyes’ last five games in all competitions finished with over 2.5 goals scored.
Christophe Galtier’s Paris Saint-Germain have no fresh injury problems. The Ligue 1 winning manager may have all of his big guns in the starting XI. Kylian Mbappe leads PSG in Ligue 1 goals with 10.
Neymar is just behind the French World Cup winner with nine Ligue 1 goals. Meanwhile, Lionel Messi leads the team with nine assists. Messi also has six goals.
Paris have Ligue 1’s best defence, with just five goals conceded. Troyes have allowed the fourth-most goals with 24 goals.
Troyes manager Bruno Irles has three players on the injury list ahead of the match on Saturday. A trio of midfielders could miss the game as Florian Tardieu, Lucien Agoume, and Karim Azamoun are all suffering from injuries and are likely to be out of action.
Paris Saint-German suffered a 2-2 draw last season against Troyes at home. This season, the Parisians should have no issue gaining a 3-1 win with Mbappe potentially getting on the scoresheet. Four of the last six games between these teams ended with over 2.5 goals.
Mbappe has one goal and two assists in three games versus Troyes. He could power PSG to a big three points.
