Paris FC vs PSG prediction 17.05.2026 | Ligue 1

Paris FC had a historic year, securing promotion to Ligue 1 after a 46-year absence. This year, their only goal was to survive, and Les Bleus truly delivered. After 33 rounds, they sit in 11th place with 41 points - ten points away from the danger zone. To be fair, they had some problems throughout the season, but after a coaching change in late February, they started playing much better and eventually easily secured survival.

Center back Mamadou Mbow will serve his one-game suspension due to the accumulation of yellow cards. With him out, we expect Diego Coppola and Otávio to start at the back. Additionally, Willem Geubbels suffered an injury in the previous game and will most likely miss the match. Moreover, Julien Lopez, Pierre-Yves Hamel, and Sofiane Alakouch should remain sidelined with their injuries. 

PSG had a magnificent season last year, winning the treble and their first Champions League title. This year, even though they did well, many football experts said they are not at last year's level. However, coach Enrique proved the doubters wrong, especially in the final part of the season. PSG won the Ligue 1 title and reached the Champions League Finals, where they will face Arsenal around two weeks after the Paris FC game. Now, in this game, they have nothing to gain, and we firmly believe they will rotate the squad and keep their best players on the bench to avoid injuries. 

Warren Zaire-Emery, Willian Pacho, Quentin Ndjantou, Nuno Mendes, Kang-In Lee, Achraf Hakimi, and Lucas Chevalier, who missed the previous game(s) with injuries, should remain sidelined for the last Ligue 1 game of the season.
