Four days before its decisive trip to Salzburg for the Champions League, PSG, leader of the championship, travels this Friday evening to Auxerre for the 14th day of Ligue 1. After two matches without a win against Bayern Munich (1-0) and FC Nantes (1-1), the Rouge et Bleu hope to return to success and build confidence before playing for their future in Europe during the week. For their part, the Auxerrois, who occupy a surprising and good eighth place in L1, remain with a defeat in Toulouse (2-0) but had gone on a good series of five matches without defeat previously (4 wins, 1 draw). Furthermore, AJA is solid at home since only AS Monaco has won at Abbé Deschamps this season. The match can be followed live with commentary on French Football Weekly from 9 p.m.
For this match, Christophe Pélissier aligned a 5-4-1 and made two changes compared to the setback against Téfécé. Thus, Osho is preferred to Diomandé in the three-way defense while Danois is preferred to Raveloson in midfield. On the PSG side, Luis Enrique does not carry out a large turnover before Europe but places Ousmane Dembélé, although suspended in Salzburg, on the bench. Thus, Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho and Nuno Mendes make up the four-man defense, Zaire-Emery and Fabian Ruiz accompany Vitinha in the midfield while Lee and Barcola occupy the wings with Gonçalo Ramos alone at the forefront. Lucas Hernández, although announced to return, is not on the match sheet.
Team compositions:
AJ Auxerre: Léon – Hoever, Osho, Jubal, Akpa, Mensah – Perrin, Owusu, Danois, Traoré – Sinayoko
PSG: Donnarumma – Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Nuno Mendes – Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Ruiz – Lee, Ramos, Barcola
