Both sides will be aiming to build on their previous respective league victories when they take on each other in a Ligue 1 outing on Friday.
To the delight of the football fans, the international break finally came to an end on Wednesday giving way to much-adored domestic competitions.
Ligue 1 will be one of the earliest leagues to return to action with its first match scheduled to be played on Friday evening.
Paris Saint-Germain, who rank fourth in the standings, will take on Nimes, who are down low in the bottom half of the table, to commence matchday 7.
