Paris SG v Monaco: leaders meet in-form European chasers | OneFootball

Paris SG host Monaco in Ligue 1 at the Parc des Princes on Friday, 6 March 2026, with the leaders aiming to consolidate top spot and the visitors pushing towards European places.

These sides know each other well after last month's Champions League play-off: Paris SG won 3-2 in the Principality before a 2-2 draw in Paris, underlining how tight this match-up can be.

Paris SG have won four of their last five league games, including a 5-0 thrashing of Marseille and a controlled 3-0 win over Metz, with only a slip at Rennes in that run. Les Rouge et Blanc arrive unbeaten in five Ligue 1 outings, winning at Lens and beating Angers to build momentum.

Luis Enrique is without Fabián Ruiz, Ousmane Dembélé, João Neves, Senny Mayulu and Quentin Ndjantou. Les Rouge et Blanc list Lukas Hradecky, Takumi Minamino, Krépin Diatta, Mohammed Salisu and Kassoum Ouattara as absentees.

On season trends, Paris SG's control is clear: 53 goals scored, 13 clean sheets, 68% possession and 91.41% pass completion, while Bradley Barcola's nine league goals could add the cutting edge. Les Rouge et Blanc have scored 40 but conceded 36. Ansu Fati (eight league goals), Aleksandr Golovin (five assists) and Folarin Balogun (six goals) may threaten on transitions if they break Paris SG's press.

Paris SG sit first on 57 points and three more would strengthen their title grip. Les Rouge et Blanc are seventh on 37 and a positive result could bolster their push towards the European places.
