Ending the domestic campaign with a local derby, Paris FC<\/a> and Paris Saint-Germain<\/a> clash at Stade Jean Bouin on Sunday afternoon in Ligue 1.<\/p>\n

Les Bleus suffered a narrow defeat at Rennes<\/a> last time out, whilst\u00a0Les Rouge et Bleu picked up maximum points at the base of second-placed Lens<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Match preview<\/p>\n

Following a second-placed finish and automatic promotion from Ligue 2 last season, Paris FC have enjoyed a comfortable maiden campaign at the top table of French football, avoiding a relegation dogfight.<\/p>\n

In fact, Les Bleus have won three of their past five matches as they cruise towards the conclusion of the 2025-26 term, beating Brest by four goals when they last played at Stade Jean Bouin on May 3.<\/p>\n

However, Paris are looking to dodge back-to-back losses for the first time since November this weekend after losing at Rennes last Sunday, when Esteban Lepaul and Breel Embolo<\/a> goals completed a comeback success for the hosts.<\/p>\n

Winning four of their past five top-flight matches at Stade Jean Bouin, Les Bleus are sitting in a respectable 11th place in the Ligue 1 standings<\/a> ahead of Sunday’s high-profile season-concluder.<\/p>\n

A contest rescheduled due to the team’s continued involvement in the Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain secured a 2-0 win over second-placed Lens on Wednesday, with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Ibrahim Mbaye<\/a> finding the net.<\/p>\n

Les Rouge et Bleu are now in the midst of a seven-game unbeaten run (W5 D2) across domestic and continental clashes as they look ultimately to secure another European success at the end of this term.<\/p>\n

Last suffering defeat in the top flight on April 19 to Lyon, PSG are already guaranteed of the Ligue 1 title, patrolling a mammoth nine points above Lens, who could not keep up with the pace of the French giants.<\/p>\n

Whilst one eye will be on the upcoming Champions League final for Luis Enrique<\/a>‘s side, there will be an appetite for revenge this weekend, with Paris FC knocking the European champions out of Coupe de France in January.<\/p>\n

A major part of Paris’ promotion campaign of 2024-25, Jean-Philippe Krasso is currently sidelined because of a knee problem.<\/p>\n

The hosts are also without the services of Pierre-Yves Hamel, who has not featured since August due to a muscle injury.<\/p>\n

PSG are unable to call upon the talents of Achraf Hakimi, who picked up a thigh injury during the 5-4 win over Bayern Munich last month.<\/p>\n

Without first-choice goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier (thigh), Matvey Safonov continues in net for\u00a0Les Rouge et Bleu.<\/p>\n

Recovering from a minor setback, Warren Zaire-Emery will not be risked ahead of the Champions League final on May 30.<\/p>\n

Paris FC possible starting lineup:<\/p>\n

Trapp; Traore, Coppola, Otavio, Sangui; Lees-Melou, Matondo, Gory, Kebbal, Koleosho; Geubbels<\/p>\n

Paris Saint-Germain possible starting lineup:<\/p>\n

Safonov; Mayulu, Zabarnyi, Beraldo, Hernandez; Fernandez, Neves, Doue; Barcola, Kvaratskhelia, Dembele<\/p>\n

We say: Paris FC 1-3 Paris Saint-Germain<\/p>\n
