On Sunday night, Ligue One champions PSG hosts Troyes at the Parc des Princes, with the visitors looking for points to secure their French top-flight status.
Mauricio Pochettino’s team have dominated the French top-flight this season. The team from the French capital have already claimed the French title and head into this game 14 points ahead of second-place Marseille at the top of the table.

PSG are six games unbeaten in Ligue One, but a 3-3 draw at Strasbourg last time out means that the champions have now drawn their last two games in the French top-flight.
The home side has been relatively prolific of late in Ligue One, scoring at least two goals in five of their last six league matches. France international forward Kylian Mbappe has been in lethal form of late in the league, scoring nine goals in his last six league appearances.
PSG are unbeaten at home this season in Ligue One having also won 18 of their last 20 league matches at the Parc des Princes dating back to last season.
With just three rounds of Ligue One remaining this season, Troyes are not yet safe from the spectre of relegation. The visitors cannot suffer automatic relegation, but they are only five points clear of 18th place Saint-Etienne in the relegation play-off spot heading into this clash.
A 3-0 home win over Lille ended a four-game winless run in Ligue One, a spell that consisted of three defeats and one draw. The game also ended a run of low-scoring games for the visitors, as their previous three league games had produced under 2.5 goals.
Troyes really have struggled to earn points on their travels, as they have won just once in their last seven away matches, suffering five defeats in the process.
Forebet predicts that PSG will record a victory in a high-scoring encounter to keep Troyes looking over their shoulders nervously at 18th place spot.
