Preview: Bastia vs. Paris Saint-Germain

By Danielle Joynson, Staff Reporter | 21 September 2012

Paris Saint-Germain travel to Bastia this weekend as they try to secure their third consecutive Ligue 1 win against a side that have last their last three matches.

Paris Saint-Germain will hope to continue their winning run when they take on struggling Bastia on away turf this weekend.

The home side have recorded three successive Ligue 1 defeats, while Carlo Ancelotti's men are on something of a surge after flying through their last two league matches.

Ancelotti is likely to partner Thiago Silva and Alex at the back, while Zlatan Ibrahimovic is expected to be the focal point up front for the French side.

Meanwhile, Bastia manager Frederic Hantz is likely to keep his trust in Anthony Modeste to find the net in this weekend's encounter but will keep Wahib Khazri on the bench and could use him as their secret weapon if necessary.
