Saint-Etienne vs PSG: Tension as Drama Unfolds for Title and Relegation!

Saint-Etienne, France – Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) go face to face with AS Saint-Etienne this Saturday, March 29, 2025, at the Geoffroy-Guichard Stadium. The match kick-off is set for 2:00 p.m. ET / 11:00 a.m. PT. This match is very crucial as PSG looks to secure their fourth consecutive Ligue 1 title while Saint-Etienne fights hard to escape relegation.

PSG, managed by Luis Enrique, sits at the pinnacle of Ligue 1 with a hefty 19-point cushion over their closest rivals, Olympique de Marseille. If PSG wins and Marseille loses to Reims, they will be crowned champions. Saint-Etienne is battling in the relegation zone, sitting 17th with only 20 points after a troubling nine-match winless streak.

“We need to stay focused,” said PSG’s head coach Luis Enrique. “This match has big implications for us but especially for Saint-Etienne.” Historically, PSG holds the upper hand in this clash and enters this match on a four-game winning streak against Saint-Etienne.

Saint-Etienne is making strategic changes, having replaced coach Olivier Dall’Oglio with Eirik Horneland mid-season, but they still face dire options for squad selection. Their main attacking player, Lucas Stassin, has scored four times in recent matches, but the team remains in a precarious position, potentially dropping to Ligue 2.

PSG can count on a clean bill of health, minus South Korean forward Lee Kang-in, who is out due to an ankle injury. This puts pressure on players like Goncalo Ramos, who recently returned to fitness, after impressing with Portugal in their recent matches.

With a scheduled Champions League clash against Aston Villa lined up next week, securing the Ligue 1 title will be paramount for PSG to maintain morale and momentum going forward.

“We are confident but need to remain sharp,” Enrique added, emphasizing the need to rotate the squad ahead of more matches. “Winning the league is our priority this weekend.”

This intense game promises to be filled with action and implications that could affect both ends of the Ligue 1 table. For fans, you can catch the match live on platforms like Fubo, Fanatiz, and beIN Sports, among others. Make sure to check local listings for additional streaming options.
