Ligue 1: Paris look to stay top before Bayern clash | OneFootball

On the 11th day of the 2025-2026 Ligue 1 season, Paris Saint-Germain faces Nice at the Parc des Princes this Saturday at 5 PM. A match to win in order to ensure keeping the 1st place before facing Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Tuesday (4th matchday).

The standings:

The matches:

PSG will open this matchday with a certain responsibility: defending its 1st place while avoiding thinking too much about the match against Bayern Munich on Tuesday (4th matchday of the Champions League), even though it will inevitably factor into squad management. An essential point in this special year. But they also need to win, and it won't be easy against a Nice team arriving with full confidence (3 consecutive victories in the league).

Behind them, AS Monaco (new 2nd) will need to be wary of a very competitive Paris FC (12th) that knows how to hold on. We saw it against Lyon on Wednesday (3-3 after trailing 0-3). There is also a trap before Europe here. The same goes for Olympique de Marseille, which needs to make up for its draw against Angers (2-2) with an away game against an interesting Auxerre team (17th), but one lacking success.

Strasbourg (4th) seems a bit less favored against Rennes, a 10th place team that struggles to hold a lead. But they occasionally show promising things and could have a resurgence. Lens (6th) needs to recover from a surprising defeat against Metz (20th), and there seems to be a good opportunity against Lorient. The 16th place team just took a point from PSG, so beware of a relapse in a more "usual" setting.

LOSC (7th) will need to be cautious, as there is a small inconsistency to correct, while Angers (13th) has shown good resources lately, even if it might be difficult to aim for more than staying in the league. There is only one direct confrontation in the program: FC Nantes (15th) hosts Metz (18th), which must capitalize on the momentum from its first win of the season.
