The Burgundy club showed a decent result last season: 42 points and eleventh place. Now, things are much gloomier: together with Metz, they spent the winter break at the very bottom of the table. And they continued to lose in January, falling to Brest (0-2) and Lens (0-1).
The Parisians last season failed to win only in the summer, at the Club World Cup. Still, in 2025 they claimed six trophies, including the Champions League. In January, they also managed to win the French Super Cup, also after a penalty shootout.
However, right after that, there was a sensational exit from the cup—losing to local rivals Paris FC. In the Champions League, they also lost to Sporting Lisbon, conceding for a 1-2 result in stoppage time. Meanwhile, on the domestic front, the favorite was trailing, albeit minimally, behind Lens. In the most recent round against Lille, they finally secured a confident 3-0 victory.
Mara and company score only 0.78 goals per game on average, while conceding twice as many, at 1.56. The main title favorite currently boasts 2.22 goals scored and 0.83 conceded per match.
