Preview: Paris Saint-Germain vs. Troyes

Paris Saint-Germain could reclaim the top spot in Ligue 1 with victory over struggling Troyes this weekend.

Ezequiel Lavezzi is likely to start up front alongside Zlatan Ibrahimovic for the hosts after bagging a brace in the midweek win at Dynamo Kiev.

Argentine midfielder Javier Pastore could make a return to the starting lineup after being named as a substitute against the Ukrainians.

Troyes got off to a poor start in the league, but have found form of late, succumbing to just one defeat in their last six games.

Jean-Marc Furlan's side, currently 19th in the table, can move within a point of Evian TG above them by pulling off a shock win.

Recent form:

Paris Saint-Germain: WLWDLW

Troyes: WDWDLD

Possible lineups:

PSG: Sirigu; Thiago Silva, Alex, Maxwell, Van der Wiel; Sissoko, Nene, Pastore, Verratti; Lavezzi, Ibrahimovic

Troyes: Thuram-Ulien, Rincon, Colin, Jarjat, N'Sakala, Thiago, Ngoyi, Othon, Obaddi, Nivet, Camus

Sports Mole says: 3-1
