A Parisian derby to close out the [Ligue 1](https://www.ligue1.com/en) season — and there’s spice in the air. PSG arrive as already-crowned champions, riding a seven-game unbeaten run, but with unfinished business. Back in January, Paris FC had the audacity to knock the European champions out of the Coupe de France. Luis Enrique hasn’t forgotten. And neither have the players.

## Paris FC vs PSG: Team News & Injuries

Paris FC head into their season finale missing two key figures. Striker **Jean-Philippe Krasso** remains sidelined with a knee problem, while **Pierre-Yves Hamel** has been absent since August with a muscle injury. Manager Oscar Hiljemark will have to make do, though the hosts have won four of their last five home games and aren’t without confidence at Stade Jean Bouin.

PSG travel with a near-full squad, though a few notable absences. Right-back **Achraf Hakimi** is out with a thigh injury suffered in last month’s stunning 5–4 win over Bayern Munich in the [UEFA Champions League](https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/). **Lucas Chevalier** (thigh) remains unavailable in goal, so **Matvey Safonov** continues between the sticks. Crucially, **Warren Zaïre-Emery** will be carefully managed and is unlikely to feature — with the Champions League final on May 30 the absolute priority for Luis Enrique’s side.

## Our Prediction: Paris FC 1–3 PSG

A motivated PSG side seeking revenge for their Coupe de France humiliation will be too much for a plucky but outgunned Paris FC. Kvaratskhelia and Dembele run riot, though a late Paris FC consolation adds some respectability. PSG sign off in style ahead of their European final showdown.
