Prediction: 0-4
Paris SG
The last encounter on Sunday is between the National 3 side Pontivy GSI and the Ligue 1 leaders Paris Saint Germain. The match will be played at the Stade Yves Allainmat-Le Moustoir in Lorient. PSG have only lost four points this season in Ligue 1 and have scored a lot of goals, more than three per game. They have also qualified for the elimination rounds in the UEFA Champions League where they will meet Manchester United. Their last game was in the League Cup, a 2:1 win over Orléans. One defeat they have suffered away from home this year was against Liverpool in the Champions League. Pontivy GSI have lost only once in their last ten matches, away to Brest II. Fifth in the table with a game in hand, they could go as far as third. Still, the focus this weekend will be on trying to give the Ligue 1 leaders a run for their money.

Highlighted Team (Paris SG):
Formed by the merger of Paris FC and Stade Saint-Germain in 1970, Paris Saint-Germain or as they call it PSG is the most successful club in French football with 31 domestic titles to their name. Having won six Ligue 1 title so far, a record ten Coupes de France, a record six Coupes de la Ligue, six Trophees des Champions and one Ligue 2 title, PSG are also one of only two French clubs to ever win a European title.
Les Parisiens were crowned UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup champions back in 1995-96, while their last European trophy was the 2001 UEFA Intertoto Cup. Beginning of the new millennium was particularly hard for the celebrated club who flirted with relegation in 2000s before they were bought by the Quatar Sports Investments group in 2011 when the rebirth of the Paris Saint-Germain as we know it today began.
Following heavy squad investments and team boosting, PSG won their first Ligue 1 title in 19 years with Swedish legend Zlatan Ibrahimovic almost singlehandedly leading his side towards the trophy with 30 goals. Having established domestic dominance, PSG now set their sights on winning the Champions League which remains an elusive dream for the club from Paris.
