Paris FC vs. PSG – News and Probable Lineups

As they conclude the domestic season with a local rivalry, Paris FC faces Paris Saint-Germain at Stade Jean Bouin on Sunday afternoon in Ligue 1.

Les Bleus experienced a close defeat at Rennes in their last match, while Les Rouge et Bleu secured all three points against second-placed Lens.

Match overview

After finishing second and earning automatic promotion from Ligue 2 last season, Paris FC has had a successful debut campaign in the upper echelon of French football, steering clear of relegation troubles.

In fact, Les Bleus have succeeded in three of their last five fixtures as they approach the end of the 2025-26 season, having recently trounced Brest by four goals during their last home game at Stade Jean Bouin on May 3.

However, Paris is aiming to avoid consecutive defeats for the first time since November following their loss at Rennes last Sunday, where goals from Esteban Lepaul and Breel Embolo sealed a comeback for the home side.

Winning four of their last five league games at Stade Jean Bouin, Les Bleus currently hold a respectable 11th position in the Ligue 1 rankings ahead of Sunday’s significant season finisher.

This fixture was postponed due to the team’s ongoing participation in the Champions League, as Paris Saint-Germain achieved a 2-0 triumph over second-placed Lens on Wednesday, with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Ibrahim Mbaye on the scoresheet.

Les Rouge et Bleu are currently enjoying an unbeaten streak of seven matches (W5 D2) across domestic and international competitions as they aim to claim another European title by season’s end.

PSG last faced defeat in the league on April 19 against Lyon and have already clinched the Ligue 1 title, sitting a commanding nine points ahead of Lens, who have struggled to match the pace of the French heavyweights.

With one eye on the forthcoming Champions League final, Luis Enrique’s side will also have a desire for vengeance this weekend, as Paris FC eliminated the European champions from the Coupe de França in January.
