Troyes sit 16th with 8 points from 9 matches. They have won 2, drawn 2 and lost 5, scoring 7 goals and conceding 16. The gap between the two clubs in the table is wide, and the visitors arrive needing points to climb away from the lower reaches.
Recent form and home/away records
Paris Saint-Germain come into the match with 5 wins from their last 5 matches. Most recently they won 6-0 away at Villarreal. Before that they won 5-1 away at Le Havre, and before that they beat Lyon 2-0 at home. Prior to that they defeated Barcelona 4-2 at home, and the oldest of the five was a 3-1 win away at Strasbourg.

Players to watch
Ferran Torres is Paris Saint-Germain's top scorer in Ligue 1 this season with 4 goals. In a side that has scored 21 league goals in 9 matches, he has been the most regular source of goals and will be the player the Troyes defence has to track.
How the two sides tend to play
The numbers point to a Paris Saint-Germain side built around scoring. They have found the net in all of their last 5 matches, and their 21 league goals are the product of consistent attacking output. They have also kept a clean sheet in 2 of those 5 matches, although both teams scored in 3 of them, which shows that opponents have still found ways to break through at times.
Troyes present a different picture. They have scored only 7 league goals in 9 matches and found the net in just 2 of their last 5. At the other end, they have kept a clean sheet in 2 of those 5 matches, and both teams scored in only 1 of them, suggesting their recent matches have tended to be tight and low-scoring.
Away from home, Troyes have managed 2 goals in 4 league matches while conceding 5. Against a home side that has scored 6 and conceded 3 in Ligue 1 this season, the visitors' defensive organisation is likely to be tested, while their ability to create chances will face a demanding examination.
