Here's our Paris SG vs St Etienne Prediction analysis: With Paris Saint-Germain already strolling to the Ligue 1 title, holding a massive 12-point buffer over second-placed Marseille, the coronavirus pandemic creeped in, crippling sporting activities in the country. As such, the league was suspended indefinitely in March. As the deadly pandemic continued to sweep across the whole world, there were uncertainties surrounding the potential resumption of the Ligue 1, raising serious concerns. Weighing their options, LPF resolved to bring a halt to the 2019/2020 league season.

Setting the pace at the top of the standings, PSG were handed their 13th Ligue 1 title, breaching the record of highest number of league trophies won by any other club in France. The decision to award Les Parisiens the title was based on a unique performance index conducted by LFP.

However, despite the cancellation of the French Ligue 1, the Coupe de France was billed to go on. Now, the stage is set for the finals of the competition, league champions PSG taking on Saint-Etienne this Friday night, both sides tussling for the right to lay their hands on the prestigious cup trophy.

PSG vs Saint-Etienne Team News

With no side worthy of challenging PSG for the title, Les Parisiens comfortably strolled to another Ligue 1 title win. Garnering a whopping 68 points from 27 games, Thomas Tuchel’s charges were easily the best side in the league once again, asserting their dominance over every other side within the cluster.

Always expected to advance to the finals of the competition, PSG were pitted against underwhelming Olympique Lyonnais in the penultimate phase. Against a tricky opposition in Lyon, the Red and Blues had to put their best foot forward to salvage a favorable result.

Despite going behind very early in the game, PSG showed immense character and resilience to overturn the lead. Wonderkid Kylian Mbappe was the cream of the crop for the French juggernauts, grabbing a hattrick to put Lyon to the sword. Ultimately, the scoreboard read 5-1 at the sound of the final whistle.

Meanwhile, Saint-Etienne have defied all odds to reach this stage of the tournament. Managing to escape relegation in the league, nobody gave Les Verts a chance in the Coupe de France. Facing off high-flying Rennes in the semifinals, the Green were deemed huge underdogs.

Rennes drawing first blood in the 33^rd minute, Saint-Etienne brought scores level through Kolodziejczak just on the stroke of halftime, setting us up for a ballsy second-half. With the game crying out for some form of spark, Boudebouz lighted the game up very late to fire Puel’s charges into the finals.

For this fixture, PSG are huge favorites for the win. Over the last couple of years, they have proven to be heads and shoulders above every other side in the league. Also, with the flurry of talent within their ranks, this Paris outfit are a tough nut to crack.

Prior to this fixture, they had been playing a couple of friendly games, registering twenty goals over their previous three matches. Even though they have already clinched the league title, Tuchel’s men are showing no signs of slowing down.

Meanwhile, Saint-Etienne have enjoyed a rollercoaster ride in this competition but have not quite had it easy in the league. They will be hoping for some miracle-of-sorts to upstage Les Parisiens here to clinch the Coupe de France trophy at fulltime.
