PSG are aiming to strengthen their lead at the top of the Ligue 1 standings as they welcome Toulouse to the Parc des Princes for a Friday night clash. Toulouse have shown some quality on their recent travels but the Parisians are maintaining a 100% record at home and should have the upper hand.
Once again PSG are the team to beat in Ligue 1 as they are already at the top of the standings after 11 matches. Luis Enrique’s team had looked off colour in the early games but have since hit their stride and opened up a six point lead.
Home form remains key to PSG’s campaign as they have won all five of their matches at Parc des Princes. The goals have flowed freely for the champions, who are averaging at least three goals per match in front of their fans and claimed a 4-2 victory at Angers last time out in Ligue 1.
Toulouse have also picked up their form in the last few games and have won their last three Ligue 1 matches. They earned a 2-0 victory at Rennes in their previous fixture with Joshua King striking early before Bruno Santamaria netted an unfortunate own goal.
The win at Rennes also highlights some improvement for Toulouse on their travels. Carles Martinez’s men had been winless in their first three away matches but have now won their last two on the road.

Players to watch: Barcola to maintain heat

Joshua King has found his scoring touch for Toulouse in the last few matches, scoring in three of the last four Ligue 1 fixtures. The forward is priced at odds of 4/1 by Betfred to score anytime on Friday.
Probable line-ups
PSG are without captain Marquinhos, who is serving a suspension while Ousmane Dembele and Lucas Hernandez are out injured. Striker Goncalo Ramos is nearing a return but Friday’s clash might come too soon.
