Paris Saint-Germain
Paris Saint-Germain continue to dominate French football and currently lead the table with 40 points in 16 matches. They’re 7 points ahead of eternal rival Marseille. With 12 victories and 4 draws, PSG remain undefeated in Ligue 1 this season.
Two of these draws happened in the last month, as Nantes and Auxerre held Paris off. Achraf Hakimi scored as early as the second minute against Nantes, but Matthis Abline’s strike twenty minutes later brought the two teams back level.
As for the match against Auxerre, PSG dominated with 73% possession and generated 2.51xG and 24 shots. Unfortunately, none found the back of Les Icaunais’ net.
Smile!
There’s only three days until we return to @Ligue1_ENG action 😄⚽️

Paris also struggled in the Coupe de France against Lens. Luis Enrique’s team were trailing behind after Abdukodir Khusanov’s strike in the 66th minute.
However, Ramos equalized for Paris Saint-Germain only four minutes later. With both teams unable to score in the regular 90 minutes, the match went to extra time. At last, penalties decided the winner, with PSG taking 4-3 on penalties.

Forward Kolo Muani has been linked with a move away from the French capital, with Tottenham, Juventus and Manchester United competing for his signing. In response, the club has already identified alternatives. Paris Saint-Germain are looking at Napoli’s Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who’s expected to cost around 90M. If Kolo Muani leaves, the club expects to receive 50M, which would be sufficient to fund Khvicha’s transfer.
Milan Skriniar and Marco Asensio are also rumoured to leave PSG this winter. Both players seem to have struggled to convince Luis Enrique.
Saint-Étienne
Saint-Étienne currently rank 16th in Ligue 1, only one point ahead of the relegation zone. In 16 matches, they’ve conceded 35 goals while scoring only 15. Two of their five victories came recently.
The club started 2025 well with a 3-1 victory against Reims, conceding shortly before the halftime break. However, Augustine Boakye’s brace brought his side back to winning ways. Lucas Stassin’s goal in the 80th minute made it 3-1.

Bet hereParis Saint-Germain vs Saint-Étienne Prediction
- Prediction: Paris Saint-Germain to win
- Odds: 1.07 (22Bet)
- Score Prediction: Paris Saint-Germain 5-0 Saint-Étienne
It could be argued that Paris Saint-Germain are always favoured by betting odds in Ligue 1, and their chances increase against the third-worst defence in the league.
Luis Enrique often relies on his forward to outscore his opponents, which is an efficient strategy against teams that lack a solid defence. This is indeed the case with Saint-Étienne.
PSG have yet to be defeated, and with their opponents’ injuries, it’s unlikely they’ll break their streak. Moreover, Saint-Étienne’s most recent victory against Paris was in 2012, making a victory for them improbable this weekend.
Paris Saint-Germain vs Saint-Étienne Betting Tip
- Pick: Ousmane Dembélé to score
- Odds: 2.1 (22Bet)
Ousmane Dembélé has scored 8 and assisted 4, making him one of the best attacking players on the Paris team. His unique dribbling flair, combined with his pace and speed of thought, allow him to bypass most defenders in the league.
Though he remains without goals in the Champions League, he’s still one of the most dangerous players in Ligue 1. Teams often have to use two defenders to man-mark Dembélé, leaving his teammates in ideal positions to score.
