-----------------------------
Saint-Etienne
Eirik Horneland could be without a few of his first team players such as Augustine Boakye and Aimen Moueffek with the dup in significant doubts for the upcoming clash, while Ben Old is out with a knee problem.
Igor Miladinovic will miss out with a suspension for this clash, and the Saint-Etienne manager will likely set up in a 4-2-3-1 shape for this home clash with PSG. Pierre Ekwah and Mickael Nade are the preferred central defenders, with Yvann Macon and Leo Petrot stationed in the full-back roles.
Moueffek is expected to be fit despite the doubts around his participation as he partners Maxime Bernauer in the middle of the park. Irvin Cardona and Zuriko Davitashvili will play the wide roles, while Benjamin Bouchouari will be in the No.10 role behind key star Lucas Stassin.
PSG
Luis Enrique only has to worry about the fitness of Lee Kang-in, with the attacker missing the South Korean games with an ongoing ankle issue. Beyond that, the PSG manager has a full squad to choose from, and if he wants, there will be a lot of rotations to keep the pack fresh for the Champions League games.
With the Champions League clash with Aston Villa still a bit far away, Enrique will want to keep his main players sharp, meaning there could be a start for most key stars. Gianluigi Donnarumma will start between the sticks, and the Italian will have a back four of in front of him. Achraf Hakimi, Lucas Beraldo, and Willian Pacho pick themselves, while Enrique might rest Nuno Mendes and select Lucas Hernandez in the left-back slot.
Marquinhos might also be rested, although there might be the case that the skipper starts and wins his tenth Ligue 1 title. Enrique’s midfield will consist of Vitinha, Joao Neves, and Fabian Ruiz, although Warren Zaire-Emery also has a chance to feature there.
For the time being, the PSG manager might continue to deploy his best attackers in the frontline with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Bradley Barcola, and Ousmane Dembele featuring in the final third. So, Goncalo Ramos and Desire Doue might start next weekend.
Saint-Etienne possible starting lineup:
Larsonneur; Macon, Batunbinsika, Nade, Petrot; Ekwah, Bouchouari, Tardieu; Cardona, Stassin, Davitashvili
Paris Saint-Germain possible starting lineup:
Safonov; Zaire-Emery, Lucas Beraldo, Pacho, Hernandez; Joao Neves, Doue, Fabian Ruiz; Dembele, Goncalo Ramos, Barcola
Saint-Etienne vs PSG Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
The two teams have crossed paths 92 times in all competitions. As expected, the visitors have the upper hand in these meetings, recording 53 wins. Les Verts have got the better of the capital club 14 times, and 25 games have ended in draws.
Les Parisiens are on a four-game winning streak against the hosts, and after a league double in the 2021-22 campaign, they won the reverse fixture 2-1 at home in January.
Saint-Etienne have won just one of their last six Ligue 1 home games. They have conceded at least two goals in four games in that period.
PSG have a 100% away record across all competitions in 2025.
The visitors have scored at least two goals in five of their last six league meetings against Les Verts.
Only last-placed Montpellier (21) have scored fewer goals in Ligue 1 this season than the hosts (25).
Prediction: Saint-Etienne 0-4 Paris Saint-Germain
Even with some rotation, this should be a stroll for the league leaders, who have swept aside all who have come before them in 2025, and they will be keeping an eye on other results to see whether they are crowned champions this weekend.
Saint-Etienne will put up a fight, but manager Horneland may already be looking ahead to next week's clash with Lens, which will offer a much greater chance of some much-needed points.
