45' + 1' HALF-TIME: DIJON 0-2 PSG.
45' The fourth official signals that one minute will be added to the end of the half for stoppages.
44' PSG take a corner short to Draxler, but Rafinha’s eventual shot is blocked at the edge of the 18-yard box.
42' With under five minutes to go in the half, it looks as though PSG will maintain their clean sheet, as Navas has yet to face a shot.
40' Dijon have lost their last six Ligue 1 games, the longest current run and the longest run in the club’s top-flight history.
38' Dijon have made slow progress in the first half since going a goal behind, making their way closer and closer to Navas’ goal - but the penalty conceded will undo all that good work. With a bit of insurance in their back pocket, it seems unlikely that the league’s second-best defence will concede from this position.
36' DRAXLER SCORES BUT IT’S OFFSIDE! Mbappe gets behind the defence after a lovely throughball from Herrera and squares it to Draxler, who finishes comfortably into an open net. The goal won't stand though, as Mbappe was deemed to be offside during the initial pass in the sequence.
30' PENALTY TO PSG! Rafinha sends a pass across the face of Dijon’s 18-yard box for Kehrer, who hits his shot at the first time of asking. Celina is the Dijon man covering, but he blocks the full-back's effort with his hand! It’s right in front of the referee - who points to the spot immediately!
29' Great defending from Panzo wins his side a goal-kick after the defender is able to send his clearance off of the onrushing Kehrer and behind his net.
27' After going a goal ahead, PSG have really slowed the tempo of the match down. They’re doing well to control possession, though there is a distinct lack of intensity in the visitors when going forward.
23' Dijon have lost 10 of their 11 Ligue 1 games against Paris (W1), never keeping a clean sheet against them (37 goals conceded, an average of 3.4 per game).
21' Diallo is again looking to feed Kean, who turns with real skill to get by Coulibaly. The centre-back makes up for his earlier misstep, however, taking up a good position to shield the ball out for a goal-kick.
19' Panzo goes for a rare run down the flank before serving Muzinga, but the eventual cross is a poor one and cleared easily by Marquinhos for a throw-in.
17' PSG’s 4-3-3 looks to have turned into a 4-2-3-1, with Herrera and Danilo holding - which allows Rafinha to step further up the pitch in a playmaker role. Draxler and Mbappe have held their positions on the flanks - both playing to serve the furthest player forward; Kean.
15' Racioppi comes flying off his line to get to a loose ball inside his 18-yard box before Mbappe, but he spills his initial catch. Panzo is there to help out his team-mate though, hoofing the ball down the pitch to give his side time to readjust.
13' Paris see no need to rush as they hold possession in midfield, cycling the ball between Danilo and Herrera. Their opponents will be forced to chase, which can only help PSG in the later stages of the match.
11' The set-piece is taken short to Mbappe, but the visitors are unable to find any room as they’re forced to turn backwards and bring Navas into play - looking to restart from defence.
9' Coulibaly takes Mbappe down on the left flank, giving PSG an opportunity to heap more pressure on the hosts.
8' Dijon have quite a mountain to climb if they wish to take anything from the match. The lowest-scoring team in the league, they’ve only managed four goals in their last five matches; which doesn’t bode well against PSG’s stout defence.
5' Diallo plays a dangerous pass through into the penalty area for Mbappe, who is unable to get the ball out from under his feet as Racioppi comes off his line to make an awkward clearance.
4' The set-piece is taken short to Mbappe, but Dijon get their defensive covering correct and win possession back near their own corner flag.
3' Mbappe gets into a good crossing position on the left and chips it to the far post for Draxler - but it’s turned behind for a corner by a marking defender.
2' Pochettino will be hoping for smooth sailing in the second 45 minutes, as his side are in an enviable position; able to either pursue more goals or hold the lead they’ve already accumulated. With a number of players missing through injury, perhaps the coach will take this time to shuffle his pack and give some experience to those who don’t feature as often. For Dijon, they have only one option as they’ll be forced to open up and go for broke in the second half, looking to overturn a large deficit.
1' It’s been a comfortable first-half for Paris Saint-Germain, who take a 2-0 lead into half-time at the Stade Gaston-Gerard. Kean’s opener after just six minutes put Dijon on the back foot immediately; a position they would be in for the entirety of the opening 45 minutes. Mbappe’s conversion from the penalty spot gave the visitors a bit of insurance after a half-hour - which looks enough to take the three points. Dijon for their part have been poor, failing to trouble Navas at all, while maintaining less than 40% possession; though it could have been worse as Draxler’s goal was eventually chalked off for offside.
1' Dijon get the match underway from the kick-off!
Pochettino makes five changes of his own to the PSG XI that lost 2-0 to Monaco last weekend. Kehrer and Diallo replace Florenzi and Kurzawa in defence, the latter of the two pushing Kimpembe to left-back in order to play in the centre. Rafinha and Danilo are preferred to Paredes and Gueye in midfield, while Mauro Icardi drops out of the side for Draxler.
Dijon make five changes to the side that lost 2-1 to Lens last time out, as Linares goes for wholesale changes in midfield and attack. A trio of Celina, Ebimbe and Cheikh replaces Marie, Wesley Lautoa and Ibrahim Ndong in the middle of the park, while Konate and Balde are preferred to Mounir Chouair and the suspended Aboubakar Kamara at striker.
PSG SUBS: Xavi Simons, Sergio Rico, Idrissa Gueye, Edouard Michut, Mitchel Bakker, Layvin Kurzawa, Colin Dagba, Pablo Sarabia, Timothee Pembele.
PSG XI (4-3-3): Keylor Navas; Thilo Kehrer, Marquinhos, Abdou Diallo, Presnel Kimpembe; Ander Herrera, Danilo Pereira, Rafinha; Julian Draxler, Moise Kean, Kylian Mbappe.
DIJON SUBS: Arthur Zagre, Yassine Benzia, Anibal Chala, Jordan Marie, Mihai-Alexandru Dobre, Frederic Sammaritano, Fouad Chafik, Roger Assale, Saturnin Allagbe.
DIJON XI (5-3-2): Anthony Racioppi; Ngonda Muzinga, Jonathan Panzo, Bruno Ecuele Manga, Senou Coulibaly, Sacha Boey; Bersant Celina, Eric Ebimbe, Pape Cheikh; Moussa Konate, Mama Balde.
With 20 minutes to go before kick-off, let's take a look at how the two sides will line up today - starting with our hosts!
Mauricio Pochettino looks to get his side back on track with a win after last week’s 2-0 defeat at home to Monaco. Paris sit third in what is the closest title race in France in quite some time - four points back of pace-setters Lille. With the best attack in the league, there’s no doubt that PSG will be looking to hit the back of the net early and often, despite the continued absence of Neymar and Angel Di Maria.
Dijon have 12 matches to make up the nine-point gap that separates relegation and safety, as David Linares’ side sit rock bottom with just under a third of the season left to play. On the back of six straight losses and 10 matches without a win - it will take a herculean effort from the hosts if they are to beat PSG for the first time since 2019 (losing by an aggregate score of 14-1 since then).
