PSG are 17 points clear at the top of Ligue 1 and even have a game in hand on their rivals. That big lead gives them the chance to concentrate on winning the French Cup and of course the Champions League. The league leaders have had a few problems in cup ties this season. They lost away to Liverpool in the Champions League, were knocked out by Guingamp in the French League Cup and needed extra time to get past third-tier FC Villefranche in the last round of this competition. Over 90 minutes they have won their last five games and conceded just one goal. Their only home loss all season has been in that cup tie against Guingamp.

Dijon are 18th in Ligue 1 and two points from safety. They beat fourth-tier side Iris Club de Croix in the last round and in the 3rd round had a massive 6-3 win away to St Etienne. The win over Iris Club de Croix is the only one of their last five games that hasn't ended in defeat. They need to do better than their league form as Dijon have no wins in their last 11 away league games, failing to score in the last five. Dijon have lost their last six games against PSG and lost 8-0 to them last year. With home advantage, PSG can win this match leading at both half and full time.
