Toulouse vs Paris Saint Germaine
Ligue 1, France
Toulouse’s relegation battle will undergo an acid test when they host PSG this Saturday. With just one point keeping them above the relegation zone, a defeat would certainly see them fall back into the relegation zone unless all the teams below them too fail to garner even a single point from their respective fixtures. For table toppers PSG, it will be one last chance to prepare to big game against Real Madrid next week in the UEFA Champions League.
