Ligue 1 – Key points for matchday 6, PSG need a boost before facing Barça

On Matchday 6 of the 2025-2026 Ligue 1 season, Paris Saint-Germain faces Auxerre at the Parc des Princes this Saturday at 9:05 PM. This match should allow PSG to bounce back before facing FC Barcelona in the Champions League.

Following the defeat against OM, due to the number of goals, PSG is now 2nd. Nothing dramatic, but it’s not a situation Parisians can get used to. In any case, a reaction is needed after a loss. Especially with the arrival of a team that should, in theory, be within their reach. They must not underestimate their opponent, nor fall into the trap of thinking too much about the upcoming trip to face FC Barcelona on Wednesday (Matchday 2 of the Champions League).

To reclaim first place as early as this weekend, they will likely need to improve their goal difference, as AS Monaco, now in 1st place, travels to Lorient, the team that has conceded the most goals since the start of the season. But Monaco has lacked a bit of consistency and could also be distracted by the Champions League. Watch out for the trap.

Similarly, Marseille must also be careful. Not only because of the Champions League, but also due to the euphoria of their victory against Paris. Strasbourg is a very strong opponent and could pose real problems. The winner would undoubtedly pull off a great feat.

The same goes for Lille and Lyon. Lille needs to make people forget the heavy defeat in the derby at Lens (3-0), while Lyon arrives with a bit more confidence, even though they still need to find some offensive certainty.

In terms of the standings, the matches between Angers (13th) and Brest (14th), as well as Metz (18th) and Le Havre (15th), will be important for the battle to avoid relegation and for gaining some peace of mind with 3 points. The season is long, but trends are already starting to take shape.
