PSG vs Auxerre Preview

Tournament: Ligue 1

Date: Saturday, 27th September 2025

Kick-off Time: 07:05 PM GMT

Venue: Parc des Princes

The Parc des Princes stage is set for a pivotal Ligue 1 Matchday 6 contest between Paris Saint-Germain, with 2nd place on the table at 12 points, and Auxerre, placed 10th at 6 points. It's a game that has two polar opposite stories to tell. Off the back of their first league loss of the campaign, a shocking 1-0 defeat to arch-rivals Marseille, PSG's overall performance (W4, L1 in last five) is good, but they are under pressure to deliver a decisive win to get their momentum back and strengthen their title bid, particularly with a huge Champions League tie against Barcelona up next week.

At the same time, Auxerre (W2, L3 last five) will come with restored confidence, having ended a three-match losing streak by beating Toulouse 1-0 last time out, but their long-standing poor record against PSG and inconsistency up front away from home serve to highlight the enormity of the task facing them against the much-fancied reigning champions. Check the PSG vs Auxerre prediction.

PSG Team News

Ballon d'Or winner Ousmane Dembele was out for PSG's loss to Marseille due to a hamstring strain, while Bradley Barcola and Joao Neves were both absent for the same reason, and Desire Doue had a calf injury. On Monday, Marquinhos began in a back three, and the Brazilian's own goal ended Lucas Chevalier's two-game run of not conceding across all competitions.

Auxerre Team News

Fredrik Oppegard will miss this game due to a red-card ban, Sinaly Diomande had a thigh strain, and Nathan Buayi-Kiala was sidelined for Auxerre due to a cruciate ligament injury last weekend.

PSG vs Auxerre Head-to-Head Record

In their recent head-to-head history, PSG holds a significant advantage, with 5 wins compared to just 2 wins for Auxerre, along with 2 draws between the two sides.

Key Players to Watch Out in PSG vs Auxerre

Vitinha (PSG)

The Portuguese midfielder has contributed to three goals in his past five Ligue 1 games, with one goal and two assists. With two assists and one of the top match ratings, he had his greatest recent performance in the 2-0 victory against Lens. Even if the recent loss to Marseille limited his attacking output, his remarkable throwing accuracy and control are crucial for overcoming Auxerre's anticipated deep defensive block.

Lassine Sinayoko (Auxerre)

The Malian international is establishing himself as a consistent offensive source and an undeniable starter. In his most recent form, he has assisted in five games and scored two goals in the first five games of the Ligue 1 season. In addition to producing exceptional moments, as his thundering strike in the season opener against Lorient, Sinayoko is renowned for his unrivalled work rate, which is essential for Auxerre's counterattacking strategy.

PSG vs Auxerre Prediction

The clear favourite for this Ligue 1 clash at the Parc des Princes is Paris Saint-Germain to win comprehensively as they seek to bounce back from their latest league defeat at the hands of Marseille. To keep things respectable, Auxerre, playing with a compact five-man defence, will rely on their unmatched work rate and counterattacking options such as Lassine Sinayoko. Auxerre will not give the champions much trouble at all, however, with their poor away form and lack of ability to score goals consistently, as mentioned in the PSG vs Auxerre preview.

Predicted Score: PSG 3-0 Auxerre
