It’s time for the second day of Ligue 1. This Friday, Montpellier HSC travels to the Parc des Princes pitch to challenge Paris Saint-Germain.

Held in check during its first outing in Ligue 1 against RC Strasbourg, MHSC would like to get started on this second day. But it will not be a walk in the park against the favorite Paris Saint-Germain.

For Montpellier coach Michel der Zakarian, the capital club will be very strong this season, despite the departure of Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid this summer. The 61-year-old fears the Parisians.

I saw them last week and they still have rockets when they brought Barcola and Dembélé on the other side so that triggers a lot of things. They have speed, technical quality in midfield, they have what it takes. They have what it takes to be champions again. I think they are going to be very strong. In any case, the transfer window is not over and then I think that collectively they are going to be strong, “ he said in remarks relayed by
RMC Sport.

What starting 11 for PSG?

Luis Enrique should have a near-full squad at his disposal for the reception of Montpellier this Friday at the Parc des Princes. His starting 11 should not be the same one that was lined up on the first day against Le Havre.

A priori players like Nuno Mendes, Marquinhos, Dembélé, Joao Neves and Barcola should start the game against Der Zakarian’s men.

Luis Enrique’s probable 11: Donnarumma – Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Nuno Mendes (or Beraldo) – Vitinha, Joao Neves, Zaire-Emery – Dembélé, Barcola, Kolo Muani
