Paris FC host Monaco in Ligue 1 at Stade Jean Bouin on Friday, 10 April 2026, with the visitors targeting European consolidation and the hosts looking to climb the table after winning the reverse fixture 1-0.
Paris FC took that earlier meeting and arrive on a steady run, unbeaten in five league games with two wins and three draws in that spell. Monaco have surged with five straight Ligue 1 victories, a sequence that included statements against Paris Saint-Germain and Marseille.
In terms of personnel, Paris FC list Remy Riou, Vincent Marchetti, Julien Lopez, Sofiane Alakouch, Pierre-Yves Hamel and Jean-Philippe Krasso as absentees. Monaco are without Takumi Minamino, Caio Henrique, Mohammed Salisu, Maghnes Akliouche, Vanderson, Kassoum Ouattara and Paris Brunner.
Les Rouge et Blanc carry the bigger scoring threat this season: 49 league goals with 48.02% shooting accuracy, and Folarin Balogun on 10 Ligue 1 goals alongside Ansu Fati on eight, with Aleksandr Golovin supplying five assists. Paris FC have scored 33 and conceded 44. Notably, they have two headed goals and none from set pieces, so open play combinations through the likes of Moses Simon and Nanitamo Ikone could be key.
Monaco sit fifth on 49 points and could strengthen their grip on Europe, potentially edging closer to the Champions League places. Paris FC are 13th with 32 points and a win would lift them up the standings and further stabilise their mid table position.
