Match preview for Saint-Etienne v PSG

Paris Saint-Germain have the opportunity to secure the Ligue 1 title this weekend if they beat Saint-Etienne at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard on Saturday.

Luis Enrique’s squad remains on course for an unprecedented quadruple, and they are expected to secure their second trophy of the season before heading into their Champions League quarter-final fixture against Aston Villa in the coming days.

PSG require just two more victories to mathematically confirm their league triumph, though the title could be secured as early as Saturday evening.

If Marseille suffer defeat in their earlier match, PSG emerges victorious against Saint-Etienne, and Monaco’s clash with Nice ends in a draw, then PSG will clinch the title with seven games to spare – the second-fastest in Ligue 1 history.

The record for the earliest title win belongs to PSG’s 2015-16 squad, who sealed the championship with eight games left in the season and eventually finished with a remarkable 31-point lead.

A convincing 3-1 victory over second-placed Marseille in Le Classique before the international break extended PSG’s lead at the top of the table to a staggering 19 points. Additionally, they continue their pursuit of a new club-record unbeaten campaign.

Should PSG avoid defeat, they will equal Milan’s record of 38 consecutive away league games without losing, a record held across Europe’s top five leagues from 1991 to 1993.

Saint-Etienne, based on historical encounters, appear unlikely to threaten PSG’s dominant streak. They have failed to win any of their last 27 matches against the Parisian giants – their longest winless run against any club in history.

Saint-Etienne’s outlook has recently improved, as they await the official confirmation of three points from their abandoned match against Montpellier.

Leading 2-0 before fan riots led to the game’s suspension, the club is expected to be awarded the victory, which will lift them out of the automatic relegation spots and bring them level on points with 15th-placed Reims.

Team news for Saint-Etienne v PSG

PSG’s primary injury concern remains Lee Kang-in, who was absent from South Korea’s international fixtures due to an ankle issue. Otherwise, Enrique has the luxury of squad rotation with a mostly fit team.

Defender Dylan Batubinsika is available again following suspension, but fitness concerns remain over Augustine Boakye and Aimen Moueffek. Midfielder Ben Old is confirmed to be out due to a knee injury.

Saint-Etienne: Larsonneur; Macon, Batunbinsika, Nade, Petrot; Ekwah, Bouchouari, Tardieu; Cardona, Stassin, Davitashvili

The Stats for Saint-Etienne v PSG

Prediction

Even with potential squad rotations, PSG are expected to dominate the match. They have dismantled every opponent they’ve faced in 2025 and will be closely monitoring other results to see if they can celebrate the league title this weekend.

While Saint-Etienne will undoubtedly fight hard, manager Eirik Horneland may already have his sights set on next week’s crucial clash with Lens, a match that offers a far better chance of securing much-needed points.

Prediction: Saint-Etienne 0-5 PSG
