Team News

Paris Saint Germain
  • PSG defender Alex has returned to full training, but it remains to be seen whether he will be fit in time to take part.
  • Thiago Silva and Thiago Motta have also started training again, but they are unlikely to be involved.
  • Mohamed Sissoko is away at the African Cup of Nations.
  • The Parisians have a Champions League tie with Valencia in midweek so do not be surprised if Carlo Ancelotti opts to make a few changes.
Bastia
  • Bastia have very few injury concerns and go into Friday night with just Yannick Cahuzac once again unavailable due to a shoulder problem.

Prediction

  • Paris Saint-Germain will look to extend their advantage at the top of Ligue 1 when they welcome Bastia to the Parc Des Princes.
  • The capital club moved three points clear at the summit of the division as they thumped Toulouse 4-0 at the Stade Municipal, while both Lyon and Marseille slipped to surprising defeats.
  • They face a Bastia side that has not scored in their last three matches, taking just one point from games against Rennes, Saint-Etienne and Evian. The Corsicans do have young starlets Wahbi Khazri and Florian Thauvin both available, but that is unlikely to have much of an impact against a stern PSG defence.
  • Expect Carlo Ancelotti's men to dominate proceedings and ease to a comfortable victory.

    I don't think PSG will score 4, and also I don't think Bastia will score, so PSG and under 3.5 for me sounds very good.
