Kylian Mbappé surely imagines nothing other than a victory to celebrate his 25th birthday. PSG face FC Metz this evening at 9 p.m., on behalf of the 17th day of Ligue 1. The Parisians, already assured of spending the holidays in the shoes of the leader, want to return to victory after two consecutive draws, in Dortmund in C1 (1-1) and in Lille this weekend (1-1). The Messins for their part are 3 points ahead of Lyon, play-offs, and have suffered 4 losses in their last 5 matches. A dark series which could continue in Paris this evening.
For this poster, Luis Enrique associates Barcola and Kolo Muani with Mbappé in front. Vitinha, Ugarte and Kang-In Lee form the midfield. Zaire-Emery should still have a hybrid role on the right side, while Marquinhos, Skriniar and Danilo form the hinge. On the Metz side, Van Den Kerkhof and Sabaly should liven up the corridors around N’Doram, with Asoro at the forefront. Jean Jacques and Maïga will be in front of the defense.
