Monaco continue their chase to finish in the Champions League places with a trip to the Stade Jean Bouin to face Paris FC in Ligue 1 on Friday night.
A 2-1 win at home to Marseille last time out means they are only behind them in goal difference in fifth, and one point behind Lille in third.
Meanwhile, Paris FC's 1-1 draw at Lorient means they remain in 13th and crucially nine points above the relegation play-off spot with just six games left.

Paris FC have done well since being promoted from Ligue 2, as they look set to avoid a swift relegation back down.
A six-game unbeaten run where they have picked up 10 points has helped them do that, and they are now nine clear of safety.
In-form Monaco will provide a stern test for them though, but one they will relish on home soil.
They won the reverse fixture 1-0 earlier this season too, which should boost their confidence heading into this clash.
As mentioned, Monaco are very much in-form, having recorded five wins in a row.
They are now pushing to finish in the top three, which would yield them a Champions League place for next season.
Having been knocked out of this season's competition by fellow French side Paris Saint-Germain, Monaco now have a taste of playing against Europe's elite.
However, Paris FC will not make it easy for them to get another three points, and so this promises to be an exciting clash.
