Reigning champions and league leaders take on struggling Toulouse side at Parc des Princes this Saturday.

The cash laden club from Paris play hosts to a struggling Toulouse side in the first game on Saturday in the gameweek 13 of the 2015-16 Ligue 1 season. The hosts are already well ahead of the rest of the teams in league and looking at their recent form in not just the domestic competition but also in the Champions League, anything but a victory for Laurent Blanc’s side would be nothing less than a shocking result for them.

Les Parisiens are currently top of the league with 32 points out of possible 36 at the end of gameweek 12. They have scored 26 goals in those games while conceding only 6 goals in the process are the only team in Ligue 1 this season which has yet to taste defeat. They have won 10 of their games while drawing two games in the process. Paris Saint-Germain are coming in this game with 4 wins in their last 5 games. The only game where they failed to register a win was against Real Madrid in the Champions League in which the French Champions played out a scoreless draw against the Spanish Giants.

Toulouse FC on the other hand would have loved to play any other team at the moment than Paris Saint-Germain but then again, football is a cruel game and you cannot always get what you wish for. The visitors have endured a torrid time in Ligue 1 this season and are currently second from the bottom with just 9 points on the table.  They have manage to register just one win in 12 games and things are not looking good for them as they prepare to take on Paris Saint-Germain on the road this Saturday.

Toulouse would be expecting to get more from their star player Martin Braithwaite this season as the player has just managed to score just 2 goals so far.  However, the major thing on Dominique Arribage’s mind at the moment would not be scoring goal but to stopping star-studded Paris Saint-Germain side from scoring. And it would take a lot of defending from the visitors to stop the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, EdinsonCavani and Angel di Maria from running riot against his side.
