PSG Feminine will host fellow Parisians from Paris FC, who are currently in the fourth spot, in a vital game to earn themselves three points--let alone clashing against their hometown rivals.

The last game between the sides was a difficult task for PSG, but a penalty from Sandy Baltimore gave them the much-needed win.

Now the PSG women must again claim victory, as only three remaining league games stand between them and the title. This is definitely not the time for any dropped points.

She also mentioned that "These are the games we look forward to as professional footballers"

PSG Post Prediction:

PSG 1 - 0 Paris FC

It will be a difficult game where both sides will give it their all, but I see PSG winning.

Next. Troyes vs. PSG - Christophe Galtier pre-match press conference. dark

Their three previous games and last win against Paris were 1-0. And as of right now, most of PSG's scorers are out. So, getting goals is more challenging than before, but the squad still have more than enough players who can find the back of the net when needed.
