Paris Saint-Germain travels to Lille this Sunday evening, at the end of the 16th day of Ligue 1 (8:45 p.m.). Here is the expected line-up for the capital club.
After winning their ticket to the knockout stages of the Champions League thanks to a draw in Dortmund’s lair on Wednesday (1-1), Paris Saint-Germain will still have to face a tough opponent since he is moving to Lillethis Sunday, for a shock to end this 16th day of Ligue 1 (kick-off at 8:45 p.m.).
For the Parisians, the mission is clear: achieve a ninth success in a row in Ligue 1 and increase their lead at the top of the championship. But with which starting eleven? In this match between the two teams with the best ball possession in the elite, Luis Enrique should look for more control and avoid a “ping-pong” match like in Dortmund.
Dembélé and Ugarte back in the eleven?
There is therefore a good chance that Manuel Ugarte will find his place in the starting lineup alongside Warren Zaire-Emery and Vitinha. The other expected return concerns the attack. Suspended in Dortmund and left on the bench at the start of the match against Nantes, Ousmane Dembélé should be lined up from the start on the LOSC pitch. Who will be the 3rd attacker aligned with the irremovable Kylian Mbappé? Bradley Barcola is a serious candidate. For the rest, there should be no major surprises in the Parisian eleven. Donnarumma is expected in goal, behind a Marquinhos-Skriniar hinge. Hakimi and Lucas Hernandez are called upon to continue on the flanks.
The expected eleven for PSG: Donnarumma – Hakimi, Marquinhos, Skriniar, Hernandez – Ugarte, Vitinha, Zaire-Emery – Dembélé, Mbappé, Barcola.
