Latest PSG vs Auxerre team news
Paris Saint-Germain enters the match with a full squad and no personnel losses. Coach Luis Enrique is likely to field his strongest team to maintain the fitness of his key players before the two crucial finals. Among them, Ousmane Dembélé – currently leading the Ligue 1 top scorer list with 21 goals – will be the focus of attention. If he maintains this record, he will become the player with the fewest goals to win the Golden Boot since the 2009-10 season. In addition, Desire Doué – the best young player in Ligue 1 this season – may be one of the few names retained in the starting lineup after his impressive performance against Montpellier.
On Auxerre's side, coach Christophe Pelissier will be without two players suffering from cruciate ligament injuries, Lasso Coulibaly and Nathan Buayi-Kiala, while young talent Kevin Danois will also be absent due to a hamstring problem. However, most of the starting lineup remains available, including Gaëtan Perrin – who recently reached the milestone of 10 goals and 10 assists this season, playing a key role in the visitors' attacking play.
Latest predicted lineups for PSG vs Auxerre
Paris Saint-Germain:
Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Ruiz, Vitinha, Neves; Doue, Dembele, Kvaratskhelia
Auxerre:
Leon; Hoever, Akpa, Diomande, Jubal, Mensah; Perrin, Owusu, Massengo, Traore; Sinayoko
Latest PSG vs Auxerre football match prediction
After officially securing their place in the Champions League final for the second time in six years, Paris Saint-Germain continued to demonstrate their strength by defeating Montpellier 5-1 last weekend. Coach Luis Enrique fielded the youngest average age team in the club's history in Ligue 1 (21 years and 251 days), and the young players did not disappoint.
Senny Mayulu (18 years old) opened the scoring just before halftime, before Gonçalo Ramos – the 23-year-old veteran – completed a hat-trick in the second half. Despite having already secured the league title six rounds ago, PSG returned to winning ways after a three-match winless streak, just in time for two crucial finals: the French Cup against Reims (May 24th) and the Champions League against Inter Milan.
A draw or a win against Auxerre would help PSG set a new points record for an 18-team Ligue 1 season (surpassing Saint-Etienne's 81 points in the 1969-70 season).
As for Auxerre, the 2024-25 season saw them successfully avoid relegation – a significant step forward compared to their relegation immediately after promotion in the 2022-23 season. With 42 points after 33 matches, Christophe Pelissier's team secured a place in the top 12, although they couldn't climb into the top half of the table.
However, Auxerre's form at the end of the season hasn't been very impressive: they've only won 1 of their last 5 matches and just drew 1-1 with Nantes last week. Despite Gaetan Perrin reaching 10 goals and 10 assists, Auxerre still haven't beaten PSG in their last 5 encounters – and are likely to end the season with a defeat.
