PSG
Le MansPSG host Le Mans at Parc des Princes in Ligue 1 Round 6, with the home side looking to build on back-to-back league wins. PSG sit sixth on eight points after five matches, while Le Mans are ninth on six. The visitors have made a solid start to the campaign and arrive unbeaten in their last three league games, giving the fixture a clearer contrast than the table alone suggests.
PSG's league form turns upward
PSG's league form has improved. After draws with Rennes and Lille and a home defeat to Monaco, they have beaten Brest 1-0 and Marseille 2-1. Those results lifted them to sixth. Le Mans, meanwhile, are unbeaten in three: a 1-1 draw at Nice and a 2-2 draw with Lens preceded a 2-1 home win over Lorient.
Their only league defeat came at Rennes in late August. The visitors have scored nine goals in five league matches, one more than PSG, but have also conceded nine.
Recent meetings have belonged to PSG
Recent history strongly favours PSG. They have won seven of the last 10 meetings, with two draws and one Le Mans victory. PSG's 2-0 win in the most recent meeting, in the Coupe de France, continued a run in which they have scored 21 goals across those 10 games to Le Mans' four. Le Mans' sole win in that sequence came at home in Ligue 1.
Absences on both sides
Both teams have absentees. PSG are without Senny Mayulu (groin), Ferran Torres (ankle) and Warren Zaire-Emery (thigh). Le Mans will miss Lucas Buades (knock), Erwan Colas (injury) and Djibril Sidibe (yellow cards). Zaire-Emery and Buades were both among their teams' better recent performers, adding to the significance of their absence.
Marquinhos leads PSG's recent performers
Marquinhos has been PSG's standout performer over recent matches, with Fabian Ruiz and Vitinha also among their stronger contributors. Further forward, Desire Doue and Ousmane Dembele have also impressed in attack. For Le Mans, Harold Voyer has been among their better recent performers, while Adil Bourabaa has featured consistently in midfield.
