Paris Saint-Germain is on all fronts. Before going to challenge Borussia Dortmund next week at Signal Iduna Park in the semi-final first leg of the UEFA Champions League, the capital club can take a big step towards the title of champion of France this Wednesday. For this, the Ile-de-France residents will have to beat FC Lorient and AS Monaco does not win against LOSC. A completely possible scenario. But we will have to pass the Lorient obstacle at 7 p.m. at the Moustoir stadium. To achieve this, Luis Enrique will rely on an almost complete group.
Indeed, Presnel Kimpembe and Sergio Rico (packages) as well as Layvin Kurzawa (coach’s choice) are missing. For the rest, nothing special to report. As against Olympique Lyonnais last Sunday (4-1 victory), the PSG coach risks rotating his squad a little as the capital club enters a decisive home stretch. This evening, he should bet on a 4-3-3 with Gianluigi Donnarumma in the cages. In front of him, the line of four will be composed, from left to right, of Nuno Mendes, Lucas Hernandez, Marquinhos (captain) and Achraf Hakimi.
Luis Enrique is going to spin a little
In the midfield, Manuel Ugarte will accompany Fabian Ruiz and Warren Zaire-Emery. The opportunity for “Lucho” to give the essential Vitinha some breathing space. Left to rest against Les Gones, Kylian Mbappé, who will play up front, and Ousmane Dembélé, who will take his place on the right wing, will return to the starting eleven. Bradley Barcola will give way to Kang-in Lee, who will therefore occupy the left wing against the Merlus. An eleven that looks great. Opposite, Régis Le Bris and his team do not intend to let this happen and even hope to spoil the party.
To achieve this, the FCL coach, who will do without several players, will a priori opt for a 3-4-2-1. In the cages, Yvon Mvongo will be protected by Nathaniel Adjei, Montassar Talbi and Isaak Touré. They will be supported, from left to right, by Benjamin Mendy, Tiémoué Bakayoko, Imran Louza and Gédéon Kalulu. Ayman Kari and Badredine Bouanani will support Mohamed Bamba, who will occupy the forefront of the attack. The Merlus, currently in 17th place in the standings with 26 points, intend to strike a major blow against PSG and take valuable points in the race to maintain their position. A promising match between two teams with different objectives (to be followed live with live commentary on our site).
