Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco are set to clash for the third time in under a month, marking matchday 25 of the Ligue 1 campaign. The match will take place at the Parc des Princes. PSG’s recent 1-0 victory over Le Havre has put them four points ahead at the top of the table. Meanwhile, Monaco climbed to seventh place after a 2-0 victory at home against Angers.
PSG’s Dominance at Home
After a slip-up by Lens, PSG have increased their lead at the top of the standings, securing their second consecutive top-flight win. The reigning champions have won nine of their last 10 league matches and remain undefeated at home this year.
Luis Enrique’s team have kept three clean sheets in their past four league games. They have also won three successive domestic matches at the Parc des Princes with an aggregate score of 11-0. PSG have only dropped points in one Ligue 1 home game in 2025-26. They have not lost a top-flight fixture in the French capital since April 2025, when they were defeated 3-1 by Nice.
PSG are unbeaten in six straight home matches against Les Monegasques. They came from behind to draw 2-2 when the sides previously met in Champions League action last month, ultimately advancing from that tie 5-4 on aggregate.
The last time PSG failed to score at home was in August 2023, drawing 0-0 with Lorient in Paris.
Monaco’s European Hopes
Monaco have been showing signs of improvement, winning three consecutive Ligue 1 matches. Sebastien Pocognoli has the opportunity to secure consecutive away victories for the first time since taking charge. This comes after his team’s comeback 3-2 victory against Lens, where they were down two goals.
A place in Europe next season looks increasingly attainable, with Monaco just three points behind Lille and Rennes, who occupy fifth and sixth place respectively.
Monaco have lost two of their three away league matches this season against teams currently in the top five, failing to score twice in those defeats. However, the Principality club have not conceded in two of their previous three away games domestically. They have also been shut out in four of their last five matches as the visitors in the top flight.
A win this week would mark the first time that Monaco have captured both Ligue 1 meetings with PSG in the same season since 2020-21, having beaten them 1-0 at Stade Louis II earlier in the campaign.
