Two clubs in the same half of the Ligue 1 table will do battle today in a league match between SC Bastia and Paris Saint-Germain. The first-division battle scheduled for 10:30 a.m. ET will be held at the Stade Armand Cesari on the island of Corsica and can be live streamed here free.
Both clubs enter Week 28 with a positive result underneath their belts in Week 27. For Bastia, it was a 1-1 draw on the road at Lorient that kept the club in the top half of the French table. The blues are currently ninth with 37 points.
Their opponent—league-leading Paris Saint-Germain—enter the weekend riding a modest three-match winning streak. The Parisians just finished undressing their heated rival Olympique de Marseille last weekend in the French capital.

Despite being on the road, Paris Saint-Germain remain heavy favorites to leave the island of Corsica with the full three points. Do SC Bastia have any chance of making the match competitive?
