Paris Saint Germain vs Evian Thonon Gaillard preview - Blanc looks ahead after Bastia loss

Paris St Germain boss Laurent Blanc is convinced his side have learned their lessons from their disastrous second-half performance against Bastia at the Stade Armand Cesari last week.

Blanc's men saw a 2-0 half-time lead obliterated as the home side stormed back to win 4-2 and leave the reigning Ligue 1 champions down in fourth place - and without a win in their last three top-flight games.

But after a morale-boosting midweek win at St Etienne in the Coupe de la Ligue, Blanc says his players are only too aware of their failings and will make good on them when they return to league action against struggling Evian on Sunday.

Blanc told a press conference: "We have analysed the game and we all know very well that we had a disastrous second half. We have experienced players and they know very well if they continue to play like this they will not reach their goals.

"A half like that gives the motivation to myself, my staff and my players to have a much better second half of the season in 2015. If we start to do that, then I believe our goals for the season are still feasible."

Evian go into the game at Parc des Princes having slumped to third from bottom of the Ligue 1 table on the back of five straight games without a win.

They are without injured pair Aldo Angoula and Milos Ninkovic but coach Pascal Dupraz insists his side will head to the capital with nothing to lose.

"This is one of the few games where the players should enter the pitch with no pressure because we are under no obligation to take points at PSG," Dupraz told a press conference.
