Paris Saint-Germain are marching towards another Ligue 1 title, though the champions face one of the toughest examinations of the campaign this weekend. Monaco sit third in the table and are competing for the ‘best of the rest’ title alongside Nice, Lille and Marseille.

The Principality club have already claimed the scalps of Barcelona and Aston Villa in European football this season. After two defeats to PSG already this season, Monaco will be hoping it’s third time lucky against French football’s dominant force.

Porto vs Sporting

Portuguese football has a cracking contest on Friday evening as Porto host Sporting at the Estádio do Dragão. The visitors lead the title race and are heading towards consecutive Primeira Liga crowns. Porto are eight points off the pace at present but can narrow the gap to the capital club with three points on home soil.

Inter Milan vs Fiorentina

Inter Milan and Fiorentina meet for the second time in a week at the San Siro. The former were thrashed 3-0 on Thursday night in a result that blew the Serie A title race wide open.
