Team News

Valenciennes
  • Valenciennes have no new concerns ahead of the visit of PSG.
  • Pape Abdou Camara will be out for six months after rupturing a knee ligament, while Mody Traore is absent with an achilles injury.
  • Dusan Djuric and Kama Massampu are both out due to knee problems, but defender Gil returns after missing the draw with Nancy.
Paris Saint Germain
  • PSG have no injury worries to contend with and welcome both Blaise Matuidi and Marco Verratti back from suspension.
  • Therefore manager Carlo Ancelotti will have a full squad to choose from as the capital club look to gain ground on league leaders Lyon.

Prediction

  • Paris Saint-Germain begin a massive week of league action when they travel to Valenciennes.
  • The Parisians moved back up to second in the Ligue 1 table with an emphatic 4-0 win over Evian, strikers Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Ezequiel Lavezzi again on target as PSG bounced back from their defeat at Nice.
  • However, they face a tough task if they are to keep pace with pacesetters Lyon, as they face a Valenciennes side that has yet to lose at the Stade du Hainaut this term.
  • However, Les Atheniens were only able to manage a draw against bottom club Nancy, and have struggled to match the free-scoring form they displayed in the early part of the campaign.
  • Daniel Sanchez's men will undoubted provide the capital club with a stern test, however, with PSG at full strength, the visitors should be able to eek out a slender win.
