Thanks to their no-nonsense 2-0 win over Saint-Étienne in midweek, Les Parisiennes secured their place in the Arkema Première Ligue end-of-season play-offs, but that isn't to say that their final two games of the regular season are dead rubbers. As it happens, the capital club's women currently sit third in the table, just one point behind their immediate neighbours, Paris FC, meaning that Paulo César's players will be intent on keeping alive their hopes of a second-place finish – which would give them home advantage in the play-off semi-finals – by continuing their excellent recent form tomorrow.
2026 has been a particularly solid year so far for Les Parisiennes, who have won 14 of their 16 games across all competitions since the start of January, often doing so in convincing fashion, too, with a total of 40 goals scored and just eight goals conceded in that time. Against Fleury, Paulo César's players will have their hearts set on extending this fine run of results not only to secure a second-place finish but also to keep their confidence high with just a few weeks to go until the start of the play-offs.
Paris will again have to show professionalism tomorrow night to get the better of an ambitious Fleury side that will be keen to try its luck despite having nothing to play for. Having gone toe to toe with Nantes and Dijon all season long in order to earn the league's fourth and final play-off spot, Les Lionnes saw their end-of-season hopes officially dashed on Wednesday with FCN's 2-0 win over Marseille.
However, manager Frédéric Biancalani can be happy with a season that has more or less been in line with the team's last few top-flight campaigns. In fact, Les Essonniennes are just one point away from equalling their tally from the past two years and will therefore be aiming for a result against Les Rouge et Bleue that will guarantee them their fifth consecutive top-five finish.
Biancalani will be able to count upon a high-quality squad that is capable of creating danger thanks to a host of experienced players, starting with its goalkeeper, Constance Picaud. The former Paris stopper and France international has been a pillar for her side, acting as its leader both on and off the pitch and helping to make it the Première Ligue's fourth best defence this season. With the hosts expected to opt for a 5-3-2 formation again tomorrow night, their low block may well give Les Parisiennes a hard time.
At right-back, Léna Goetsch has established herself as one of the league's revelations in her position, while Annaïg Butel and Claudine Meffometou, respectively 35 and 34 years old, form a solid and experienced centre-back partnership.
In midfield, Fleury's youth takes the reins in the form of 21-year-old Monique Ngock, who has been a regular feature of her team's starting XIs, but it's up front that the home side might spring a surprise or two. In Émelyne Laurent and Cindy Caputo, Biancalani has two top-drawer options at his disposal, with the former of the two sitting just outside the league's top five scorers this season thanks to her nine goals in 2025–2026. Les Parisiennes are a cut above in that respect, however, as Romée Leuchter (17 goals) and Merveille Kanjinga (11 goals) currently occupy the top two spots in that particular list.
