The Ligue 1 returns to the fold with another round of matches this weekend as Auxerre lock horns with Christophe Galtier's star-studded PSG side in an important encounter at the Stade de l'Abbe-Deschamps on Sunday.
Auxerre vs PSG Preview
Auxerre are currently in 16th place in the Ligue 1 standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The home side slumped to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Brest last week and will need to bounce back in this fixture.
PSG, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table at the moment but have been uncharacteristically inconsistent on the domestic front. The Parisian giants thrashed Ajaccio by a 5-0 margin in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar scoreline this weekend.
