Match Preview

Paris Saint-Germain still have very slim hopes of leapfrogging Monaco and defending their Ligue 1 championship title. They are three points behind the leaders, need to win their last two matches, and hope that Monaco lose twice in three of their remaining fixtures. That is unlikely in the extreme, but the Parisians will be motivated not to slip themselves, as we can state in our Saint-Etienne vs Paris Saint-Germain preview.

Their task is tough, though. Saint-Etienne only lost twice at home all season and they are very difficult opponents for any team with their compact defense. This is likely to be Christophe Galtier's last home game – he is supposed to leave the club after eight successful years. There is little doubt that the players would love to rise to the occasion and the fans are waiting for a spectacle. This makes our Saint-Etienne vs Paris Saint-Germain predictions rather difficult to make.
