Three days before an important trip to Milan in the Champions League, PSG welcomes Montpellier this evening at 9 p.m., on behalf of the 11th day of Ligue 1. The Parisians, second one point behind Nice, remain on 3 victories in championship in Rennes (3-1), against Strasbourg (3-0) and Brest (3-2), in a match made difficult by the catchy Brestois. The Héraultais, who largely won against Toulouse last week (3-0), have never had two victories in L1 this season. A hell of a challenge to take on at the Parc des Princes, the day after the announcement of Mamadou Sakho’s departure following his falling out with Der Zakarian.
For this match, Luis Enrique rotates slightly and notably starts Nordi Mukiele on the side. Skriniar and Marquinhos will form the hinge. In midfield, Kang-In Lee will be associated with Ugarte and Zaire-Emery. Kolo Muani will be at the forefront, supported by Dembélé on his right and Mbappé on the left. The MHSC for its part is playing classic, and is fielding the 11 men who started against Toulouse on the 10th day.
