Paris Saint-Germain travels to Salzburg for the 6th day of the Champions League, this Tuesday (9 p.m.). Here is the expected line-up for the capital club.

This time, the
Paris Saint-Germain is up against the wall. With four small points collected in five outings, the capital club is only in twenty-fifth place in the standings for this phase of the League in the new Champions League formula.

The Parisians are therefore obliged to win in Salzburg this Tuesday evening to revive themselves with a view to qualifying for the play-offs. A meeting all the more important as it appears to be the most affordable, on paper, in the remaining calendar for PSG.

PSG with an eleven close to that lined up at Auxerre?

With which starting eleven? Several questions persist before kick-off. Never short of surprises, Luis Enrique should not take too many risks given the crucial stakes of this match. In the goals, nothing can be excluded since Safonov was preferred to Donnarumma for the trip to Munich two weeks ago. But the Italian is expected to regain his starting place.

If the defense should not hold any big surprises with the expected presences of Marquinhos, Pacho, as well as Hakimi and Nuno Mendes on the sides, the midfield is more uncertain. A trio composed of Vitinha, Joao Neves and Zaire-Emery would emerge but Fabian Ruiz is also present in the equation. Finally, the attack will also have to be remodeled since Dembélé is suspended after his expulsion in Munich. Lee Kang-in could replace him, with Ramos in the center and Barcola on the left side.

The expected lineup for PSG : Paris SG: Donnarumma – Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Nuno Mendes – Neves, Vitinha, Zaire-Emery – Lee, Ramos, Barcola.
