Despite a more mixed start in Ligue 1, including a defeat against Marseille (1-0) then the recent draw against Strasbourg last Friday (3-3), PSG is, conversely, doing much better in the Champions League. After the inaugural success on the first day against Atalanta Bergamo (4-0), Luis Enrique's men struck a major blow by winning in Barcelona (1-2) with a largely overhauled team, especially in attack.
The capital club is therefore aiming for three out of three against Bayer Leverkusen. The German team, 25th in the C1 rankings with two draws, will appear diminished by the absences of Lucas Vazquez, Malik Tillman, Nathan Tella, Martin Terrier and Exequiel Palacios. While opposite, Paris (3rd) recorded the returns of Ousmane Dembélé and Marquinhos.
Leverkusen-PSG, the probable lineups
Leverkusen: Flekken – Andrich (cap.), Badé, Tapsoba – Garcia, Fernandez – Soares, Maza, Grimaldo, Poku – Kofane.
PSG: Chevalier – Hakimi, Marquinhos (cap.), Pacho, Nuno Mendes – Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Doué – Kvaratskhelia, Mayulu, Barcola.
