On Matchday 25 of the French Ligue 1, PSG and Monaco will face off on March 6, 2026. This is yet another meeting between these rivals in recent weeks.
In Paris, 2025 saw an impressive haul of trophies. The only exception was the FIFA Club World Cup, which they failed to win. The current season started off worse—in 2026, the team only managed to win the Super Cup on penalties. In the Champions League, they had to start the knockout phase already in February, and coincidentally, against Monaco. It was a hard-fought victory by a single goal. Earlier, PSG were knocked out of the cup by their Parisian neighbors. In Ligue 1, PSG are struggling to pull away from Lens. Only wins over Metz and Le Havre have allowed them to stay at the top of the table.
The club from the autonomous principality finished third last season after taking second place in 2024. When problems emerged at the start of the current campaign, Hütter was replaced by Pocognoli—which only made things worse. Yes, Monaco advanced to the Champions League knockout stage. But they started February with a defeat to Strasbourg. In Ligue 1, they’ve slipped to almost mid-table and can realistically only aim for fifth place. Still, with consecutive victories over Nantes, Lens, and Angers, they’ve signaled their intent to make the most of the season’s final stretch.
The title holders remain strong: with an average of 2.21 goals scored per game, they concede just 0.79. Balogun and company have averaged only 1.67 goals per match, while conceding about 1.5.
