With three games left to play in Ligue 1, Christophe Galtier’s men hold a six-point lead over RC Lens at the top of the table. Considering PSG’s better goal difference, the title odds are well stacked in the capital side’s favour, and a win against Auxerre on the night should more or less guarantee them the title.

Still, anything less than three points for Lens against Lorient, who play a few hours earlier, will leave the door open for PSG to guarantee a historic 11th Ligue 1 title with even a draw against Auxerre.

Auxerre, on the other hand, find themselves engaged in a battle at the lower end of the table. Under the leadership of Christophe Pelissier, they have managed to assemble an impressive streak of six undefeated matches at home. This resilient run has played a crucial role in lifting them out of the relegation zone, at least for the time being.

They are currently in 16th place in the Ligue 1 standings, just one point off rivals Nantes in the final relegation spot. As Ligue 1 is reduced from 20 clubs to 18 next season, four teams will be relegated this year, with only two coming up.

Facing the league leaders PSG poses a significant challenge for the hosts, considering PSG’s recent dominant performance of a resounding 5-0 victory against AC Ajaccio at home. PSG will enter the match with the intention of securing an early advantage and efficiently completing the task at hand.
