Paris Saint-Germain will look to put an underwhelming start to the season behind them when they welcome Strasbourg to the Parc des Princes on Saturday.
In one of PSG's worst starts to a season under the Qatari ownership, they return after the international break in third place in the Ligue 1 standings.
We say: Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 Strasbourg
PSG have often struggled against weaker sides in Ligue 1 so far this season, but their dominant history over Strasbourg should continue here.
Two defeats before the break may have dented confidence slightly for Vieira's men, and this remains the most daunting fixture in French football so a defeat is on the cards for the visitors.

Two clubs challenging for Europe in Ligue 1 meet at the Allianz Riviera on Saturday night, when Marseille travel to Nice for the Derby de la Mediterranee.
The hosts enter the weekend up in second with an unbeaten start still under their belt, while despite a chaotic few months for Marseille, they remain in a strong position at this early stage.
We say: Nice 1-1 Marseille
Nice have been excellent so far and are proving to be a frustrating side to come up against, but their previous two performances were not wholly convincing, and they must find another gear against better opposition here.
Marseille simply do not win away, and that is unlikely to change against one of the league's most in-form sides, but they may well have enough to claim a result.
