The men from the capital are three-time French champions, but have never lifted the trophy in consecutive years.
In truth, achieving that feat this time around has rarely looked in doubt and Laurent Blanc's charges could seal top spot with three games to spare.
While admitting facing a Sochaux side fighting for their Ligue 1 survival could prove tough, Blanc is hopeful of having the title wrapped up by the end of the weekend.
"If we can win the Ligue 1 title this week, it will be a very good thing," he said. "We still need a few points."

Claudio Ranieri's men bounced back from their humiliating 3-1 Coupe de France semi-final defeat to Guingamp with a 1-0 derby victory over Nice on Sunday, and will be hoping to extend the gap between themselves and third-placed Lille in the chase for a place in the UEFA Champions League group stages.
