AS Monaco and PSG begin this somewhat special 16th day of Ligue 1. The two clubs are ahead of their competitors because of the Champions Trophy which they are competing on January 5 in Qatar. It is during this same first weekend of the year 2025 that the other teams in our championship will play this famous 16th round. A special date for a match like no other since Monegasques and Parisians occupy 3rd and 1st place respectively in the ranking. You will have understood, there is indeed a shock this evening at Louis-II (9 p.m.).
For this important meeting, Adi Hütter has to deal with quite a few injuries, starting with his starting goalkeeper, Majecki. Instead, it is Köhn who will start with a 4-2-3-1 system in front of him. In defense, we should have something classic with the Brazilians Vanderson and Caio Henrique at the right and left back positions. In the middle, it is Singo who would have to team up with Kehrer since Mawissa is injured. In the middle, captain Denis Zakaria is uncertain, which would force his coach to review certain plans.
Lucas Hernandez holder?
The Swiss will probably be left to rest to favor the tenure of Golovin alongside Camara. An offensive choice since the Russian generally plays a step higher. He would give way to creation, to Minamino, who would be associated with the young Akliouche on the right and Ben Seghir on the left. Breel Embolo starts with a head start, ahead of George Ilenikhena, Folarin Balogun being injured for a long time. For this last championship match of the year, Luis Enrique would give Donnarumma a chance rather than Safonov to lead this 4-3-3 composition. Marquinhos and Pacho should pair up as a hinge.
On the wings, however, there could be a change with the announced presence of Lucas Hernandez on the left, and that of Hakimi on the right. This would be the 2018 world champion’s first starting lineup since his return from injury. In the midfield, the Spanish coach would trust his usual men, namely Zaire-Emery, Neves and Vitinha. He would leave the one who burst the screen against OL on Sunday, Désiré Doué, on the bench. The former Rennais is expected to give way to a trio seen for the first time this season last week in the Champions League against RB Salzburg: Dembélé, Ramos and Barcola.
