PSG are currently leading the league with an almost perfect scoring. Their nine wins and two draws in 11appearances put them at the top of the standings. However, things haven’t been easy for the Parisian team. Although they defeated Olympique Marseille in a rivalry clash last Sunday, that 1-0 victory was their only one in the last four matches in all competitions. With a Champions League challenge against Maccabi Haifa on the horizon, this could be a trap game if they aren’t focused.
For AC Ajaccio the situation is almost the opposite. Their 18th place would cost them their recently acquired spot in Ligue 1, so they are in need of better results. The good thing for them is they were able to get four in their last two games. But they must improve at home because they lost four contests in a rowat Stade François Coty.
