Paris Saint-Germain and Paris FC will meet for the second time this year when they clash in the Coupe de France on Monday 12th of january at the Parc des Princes, with a place in the round of 16 on the line.
PSG had no problems in the previous round, cruising to a 4-0 win over Fontenay.
Watch highlight below:
The holders are in good form and come into this game unbeaten in their last six matches across all competitions. They also recently added another trophy to the cabinet after beating Marseille in the Trophee des Champions.
The Parisians have been strong at home, winning their last four competitive games at the Parc des Princes and scoring freely in each one.
Their attacking quality has been evident throughout the season, particularly on the European stage, where they have consistently delivered prolific performances, highlighted by their Champions League goal record of 51 strikes in 2025.
With another major league test on the horizon against Monaco, PSG remain well placed to manage their schedule, as Luis Enrique has enough depth in his squad to rotate effectively without compromising overall quality.
Paris FC, on the other hand, are struggling in the league and sit just a few points above the relegation zone. They have not won any of their last six league matches, but cup football has been kinder to them.
They beat Raon-l’Etape 3-0 in the last round and will be hoping for another special night.
