Ligue 1 – keys to matchday 4, PSG must finally win | OneFootball

On Matchday 4 of the 2026-2027 Ligue 1 season, Paris Saint-Germain face Brest at Stade Francis-Le Blé this Sunday at 8:45 pm. It is a match PSG absolutely have to win in order to climb back up the table.

The standings:

The fixtures:

It is a rare situation: PSG are 7 points behind the leaders and even 3 points behind Brest, who are in 7th place. There is no choice now, it is time for the Parisians to claim their first league win and then build on it. Brest will not do them any favors, though, and come into this with renewed confidence after a 2-1 win at Le Havre. And there is never an easy match at Francis-Le Blé.

Two days earlier, Olympique de Marseille begin their intense final nine days before the international break. The trip to Rennes is a dangerous one, against a team in good form at the start of the season, especially with striker Esteban Lepaul. OM will then travel on Thursday to face Besiktas in the Europa League before hosting PSG the following Sunday. A run of games that could set the tone for what comes next.

The next match will also stand out, as AS Monaco, the only team on 9 points, travel to Strasbourg, who have been fully revived since their 4-0 defeat at the Stade Vélodrome on Matchday 1. For both Monaco and Strasbourg, it is a very interesting test. The same goes for Paris FC and Olympique Lyonnais, who have put together some encouraging performances and will want to confirm that they have a role to play near the top of the table.

At the bottom end, attention already turns to the clash between AJ Auxerre, bottom with 0 points and 11 goals conceded, and OGC Nice, who have only 2 points on the board and may already fear another very difficult season after staying up through the playoff against Saint-Etienne. A win would do a world of good; a defeat would confirm the crisis.
