Leader of Ligue 1 but slowed down in Lorient (1-1) in the middle of the week, Paris Saint-Germain returns to the Parc des Princes this Saturday to challenge OGC Nice. Deprived of Désiré Doué, taken out on a stretcher at Moustoir, the capital club nevertheless hopes to return to the path to victory before its European shock against Bayern Munich.
For this meeting, Luis Enrique should therefore trust his usual starters. In goal, Chevalier is once again expected and could be protected by a defensive quartet composed of Zaire-Emery, Pacho, Beraldo and Mendes. In midfield, Neves is expected to start the match, as are Mayulu and Vitinha. Finally Barcola and Kvaratskhelia will surround Mayulu since Dembélé has visibly relapsed.
PSG with Mayulu, Neves back?
For its part, OGC Nice will be keen to strike a major blow in the capital and confirm its rise to power. Undefeated for five championship matches, Franck Haise’s men have, in fact, regained their solidity and confidence, buoyed by convincing successes against Rennes, Lille and Lyon. A shock that the Gym should start in 3-4-3.
In front of Diouf, lined up in goal, Mendy, Bah and Oppong will make up the three-way defense. In midfield, Boudaoui and Vanhoutte should also be associated and benefit from the support of Gouveia and Bard, established in piston roles. Very fit in recent weeks, Diop should not start the match as a starter. Boga could start with Carlos and Jansson on the front of the Nice attack.
