The Ligue 1 is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as PSG lock horns with Saint-Etienne on Sunday. PSG have excellent players at their disposal and hold the upper hand going into this game.
Saint-Etienne are in 19th place in the Ligue 1 standings and are set to face a relegation battle this season. The home side edged Troyes to a crucial 1-0 victory last week and will need a similar result in this fixture.
PSG, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table at the moment and are the favourites to win the Ligue 1 title. The Parisians were outclassed by Manchester City earlier this week and will need to bounce back in this match.

Saint-Etienne vs PSG Prediction
PSG have blown hot and cold this season and are yet to click as a unit under Mauricio Pochettino. The likes of Lionel Messi and Neymar have not been at their best this season and will need to step up for the remainder of the campaign.
Saint-Etienne have staged a recovery in recent weeks and are unbeaten in their last four league games. PSG have plenty of firepower in their ranks, however, and should be able to win this game.
Prediction: Saint-Etienne 1-3 PSG
