PSG Form
Paris Saint-Germain went into the international break top of the standings, holding just a one-point advantage over their nearest challengers Lens. However, the capital club still have a game in hand. In the last round, Luis Enrique's men visited Nice and did not notice any resistance, thrashing their opponents 4:0. It was their third win in the previous four league matches, with the only blot a frustrating home defeat to Monaco (1:3) in between. In addition, PSG remain the best side in the division both in attack (58 scored) and in defence (22 conceded).
- The team have 10 wins in their last 12 Ligue 1 matches.
- At least three goals have been scored in 6 of PSG's last 7 league games.
- Paris Saint-Germain have kept a clean sheet in 6 of their previous 8 home matches in Ligue 1.
Potential PSG Lineup (4-3-3)*
Matvey Safonov – Ilya Zabarnyi, Willian Pacho, Warren Zaire-Emery, Nuno Mendes – Vitinha, Kang-in Lee, Senny Mayulu – Lucas Hernandez, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Desire Doue.

Toulouse Form
Toulouse have confidently negotiated their last two league matches, claiming back-to-back wins. They first beat Metz away from home (4:3), before edging past Lorient at home (1:0). Interestingly, in the current campaign the team have not managed to win three games in a row even once, while they have put together five separate two-match winning streaks. Toulouse have settled in mid-table, with no concerns about a relegation battle. However, European qualification is also likely out of reach, with the gap to the top six standing at nine points.
- The club have failed to win 6 of their previous 8 Ligue 1 games (2 draws and 4 defeats).
- No more than two goals have been scored in 7 of Toulouse's last 9 league matches.
- The team have conceded no more than once in 8 of their previous 11 away matches in Ligue 1.
Potential Toulouse Lineup (3-4-3)*
Guillaume Restes – Mark McKenzie, Senny Kumbassa, Rasmus Nicolaisen – Djibril Sidibe, Pape Demba Diop, Cristian Casseres, Aron Donnum – Jayden Russell-Rowe, Yann Gboho, Santiago Hidalgo.
Forward Santiago Hidalgo will miss the match through suspension, while midfielder Abu Francis is sidelined with injury.
