The Ligue 1 is back in action with another round of matches this week as Ajaccio lock horns with Christophe Galtier's PSG outfit in an important clash at the Stade Francois Coty on Friday.
Ajaccio vs PSG Preview
Ajaccio are currently in 18th place in the Ligue 1 standings and have largely failed to meet expectations so far this season. The home side played out a 1-1 draw against Troyes last week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.
PSG, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table at the moment and have been in excellent form so far this season. The Parisians edged Marseille to an important 1-0 victory in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this week.
