In last weekend's Classique tie, PSG absolutely crushed Marseille. 5-1 was the final score-line as five different scorers for Les Parisiens helped Unai Emery's men make mincemeat of their opponents. It was enough to stay ahead of Nice on goal difference, but not enough to catch Monaco just yet, as Les Rouges-et-Blancs are still on top of their game. Three points divide Monaco, PSG, and Nice. Will we see some changes in the Ligue 1 table this weekend?

Ligue 1 - Matchday 28 overview
As things stand, Monaco are still on top of the Ligue 1 table. With a three point lead over Nice and PSG, Leonardo Jardim's men will still be ahead of their title challengers regardless of whether they win, lose, or draw against Nantes on Sunday. However, with the form that they are in now, one obviously should not bet against Les Rouges-et-Blancs picking up maximum points. Their game just so happens to be the final match of round 28, meaning that they will know where they stand following PSG and Nice's games on Saturday against Nancy and Dijon respectively.
