On the PSG side, Luis Enrique makes six changes compared to Wednesday’s lineup in Lorient (1-1). If Doué (injured) and Mbaye (sent with the U19s) are absent, four players are on the bench: Dembélé, Ndjantou, Marquinhos and Beraldo. Hakimi returns to his right-back position, Neves and Vitinha start in the middle (Ruiz is a substitute) while Kvaratskhelia and Barcola find the wings of the attack. Mayulu continues, here at the forefront, after starting in the middle three days ago.
OGC Nice has just revealed its starting lineup and Franch Haise presents five changes from Wednesday evening’s match against Lille (2-0 victory). Midfielders Vanhoutte and Abdul Samed are sent to the bench, as are the three offensive players Diop, Kevin Carlos and Boga. The Aiglons’ eleven is much less offensive on paper since it is Abdi (defender), Louchet, Boudaoui and Sanson (central midfielders) and Jansson (winger) who replace them. We can imagine a 5-4-1 with the last city at the forefront, supported on the sides by Gouveia and Sanson. To be checked at kick-off.
In video: last season, while PSG still hoped to complete an entire exercise without losing (unheard of in Ligue 1), OGC Nice won at the Parc des Princes (1-3) on the 31st day out of 34. Sanson, who will perhaps be back in the eleven this Saturday, scored twice.
On the Nice side, Franck Haise has not recorded any comeback compared to the victory against Lille (2-0) and he still has to cope without seven players: Clauss (dismissed or too close, it depends), four other defenders (Dante, Bombito, Ndayishimiye, Abdelmonen) and two attackers (Moffi, Cho).
Effective point: four days before the C1 clash against Bayern Munich, PSG is deprived of only one player, Doué, seriously injured in Lorient three days ago. The former Rennais might not play again before 2026 but, in the meantime, Luis Enrique recovers three players this Saturday: Hakimi, left in Morbihan, Lee, who was ill, and Ruiz, back after missing the club’s last five matches. Note that Mbaye, holder at Moustoir, was downgraded and made available to the U19s.
For its part, OGC Nice (8th) is on excellent momentum, it remains in five matches without defeat and in particular three consecutive victories. That of Wednesday, against Lille (2-0), followed the successes in Rennes (1-2) and against OL (3-2).
Hanging in Lorient on Wednesday evening (1-1), PSG retained the lead in the championship since OM also did so against Angers (2-2). In the standings, Luis Enrique’s team is one point ahead… ahead of Monaco (2nd) and two ahead of Marseille (3rd), Strasbourg (4th), Lyon (5th) and Lens (6th).
Welcome to our site to follow the 11th day of Ligue 1 live and the meeting between PSG and Nice at the Parc des Princes. Kick-off is scheduled for 5 p.m. this Saturday.
