Monaco look to maintain their superb form in France when they take on Paris FC in a live Friday night encounter.
The visitors make the trip to Paris in excellent shape after picking up three points against Marseille last weekend, while Paris FC aim to extend their unbeaten run to seven matches after a hard-fought draw at Lorient.
Paris FC secured a surprise win when these sides met earlier this season, but will need to be at their best to maintain their solid recent Ligue 1 form.

Paris FC and Monaco have met on just one previous occasion in competitive fixtures this century. Paris claimed a shock 1:0 win in Monaco earlier this season.
Paris FC team overview
Paris FC return to the Stade Jean Bouin after maintaining their solid recent form with a 1:1 draw at Lorient last weekend. A late goal from Marshall Munetsi rescued a point at Stade Yves Allainmat-Le Moustoir.
An excellent run since the turn of the year sees the Ligue 1 debutants unbeaten in their last six matches with two wins and four draws picked up in that period. Paris lost just one eight matches - a 5:0 beatdown from title-chasing RC Lens.
Usually stronger on their travels, the Paris-based outfit secured half of their 32 accrued points in away fixtures this season. Antoine Kombouare’s side did claim victories in their two most recent home fixtures, and now sit nine points clear of the drop zone.
Head coach Kombouare has a long list of absentees this weekend. Jean-Philippe Krasso, Julien Lopez, Maxime Lopez, Tuomas Ollila and Vincent Marchetti are all ruled out through injury.
Pierre-Yves Hamel is a doubt due to a calf issue.

Monaco team overview
Monaco make the trip to Paris after a thrilling 2:1 win against Marseille at the Stade Louis II last Sunday. Folarin Balogun’s sensational second-half chip secured an impressive victory for Sébastien Pocognoli`s side.
The in-form Rouge et Blancs have now won each of their last five Ligue 1 matches while they have lost only one of ten games played since the start of February.
Impressive on the road, Pocognoli’s men have claimed victories in each of their last three away fixtures.
Up to fifth in the division, Monaco now sit just three points behind third-placed Lille in the race for Champions League qualification.
Head coach Pocognoli has four expected absentees for Friday’s Ligue 1 encounter. Caio Henrique, Kassoum Ouattara, Paris Brunner and Vanderson are all ruled out through injury.
