PSG will see this fixture as an opportunity to build on three consecutive victories across all competitions after their difficult opening to the domestic campaign left them with only two wins from their first five league matches.
Although Les Parisiens kicked off their Champions League campaign with an emphatic win over Slovan Bratislava, not until a 1-0 victory over Brest on matchday four did Luis Enrique's side earn their first win of the Ligue 1 season.
That result was followed by a 2-1 success at Marseille just before the break, courtesy of goals from Ferran Torres and Marquinhos.
Desire Doue could provide another attacking threat for the hosts after scoring for France during the international break, with his recent goalscoring sequence highlighting the French forward's ability to make an impact late in matches.
Le Mans go into their first Ligue 1 meeting with PSG in 16 years having already shown that they can compete at this level, with their victory over Lorient lifting them to six points from their opening five matches.
Patrick Videira's side had previously drawn three of their first four league games, including a pair of entertaining stalemates, while their only defeat during that sequence came in a 3-2 loss at Rennes despite recovering from two goals behind.
The newly promoted outfit have therefore avoided losing in seven of their last eight top-flight away matches, giving them a reasonable platform to believe that they can trouble PSG even if the scale of the task increases considerably in Paris.
Le Mans have also been getting meaningful contributions from Adil Bourabaa, who has scored in three consecutive matches, though the attacker is ruled out for this one after suffering an injury on international duty with Algeria.

Whispers predicts: PSG 3-1 Le Mans
PSG win and over 2.5 goals at 1.22 (2/9) looks appealing for those expecting the champions to combine their superior individual quality with another productive outing in front of their own supporters.
Le Mans have shown enough attacking ambition to make a clean sheet an uncertain proposition for PSG, so Le Mans over 0.5 team goals at 2.00 (1/1) offers an interesting alternative for bettors expecting the visitors to contribute to the scoreline.
That also makes both teams to score – Yes at 2.05 (21/20) worth considering, while the 3-1 correct score at 11.00 (10/1) provides an appealing outsider option if PSG's greater attacking depth eventually proves decisive.
