How are both teams coming into this?

Paris Saint-Germain have dominated domestic football for the past decade, and this season has been no different. Sitting comfortably near the top of the table, they boast a potent attack and an almost flawless home record at the Parc des Princes. Confidence is sky-high among the PSG faithful, who will be buoyed by their unbeaten run in recent league fixtures.

Auxerre, on the other hand, have rallied admirably this campaign. While not traditionally considered title contenders, the Burgundian side have shown resilience against stronger opponents and continue to battle for a respectable mid-table finish. Their willingness to press and counterattack means they’ll arrive in Paris with nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Our forecast

We anticipate PSG to assert themselves early, controlling possession and looking to break Auxerre’s defensive lines. The home side’s creativity in midfield and quality up front should spell danger for the visitors, who will need to stay compact and seize set-piece opportunities.

Despite Auxerre’s spirit, we expect the gulf in quality to tell. A final scoreline of PSG 3-1 Auxerre seems plausible, with Paris Saint-Germain doing just enough to entertain the crowd while keeping their unbeaten home run intact.
