Paris Saint-Germain vs Troyes prediction

THE FORECAST

PSG lead Ligue 1 with a perfect five-match winning run and average 2.3 goals per game, making them heavy favourites against a Troyes side in poor form (WDLLL) that concedes 1.8 per game. PSG do carry a notable injury burden including Barcola, Dembélé, Kvaratskhelia, Hakimi and Marquinhos, which will dilute their attacking quality, but with only 4 days' rest since their Champions League game the rotation risk is moderate rather than severe given their next league fixture is 14 days away. Cool, dry conditions suit both sides equally and Troyes' defensive fragility means PSG's depth should still be sufficient to secure a home victory.
