World Cup winner Djorkaeff spent five seasons at Monaco from 1990 to 1995 before moving to PSG for the following season.
Leonardo Jardim’s side hold a three-point lead at the top of Ligue 1 and are still fighting for silverware on four fronts, while the defending champions will be hoping to complete a clean sweep of domestic trophies for the third straight season.
Djorkaeff is unsure which of his two former clubs will end Saturday triumphant, but is looking forward to a contest between the best sides in the country.
He told Omnisport: “[Monaco are the] favourites in thinking that they are an outsider in very good shape and very high spirits with especially a lot of confidence. I think this final is 50-50.
“For me, it cannot be said that Monaco will win more than Paris. It is a confrontation with two opposing styles, two opposing mentalities at this time.
“That’s why it’s an incredible final. These are the two best teams in France who compete for a title.
“The goal is not to reach the final, but to win it. I lost a few finals because we thought it was great, we had done the hardest part. The hardest part starts in the first minute [of the final], when the referee whistles the kick-off.
“It’s a whole other game. This is not the championship. It can be played on small details, on stroke of bad luck. That’s why you have to be ready for anything in a final.”
