PSG – Lorient: probable line-ups

Published:

PSG certainly already has its eyes on Germany and this Champions League semi-final second leg in Munich. Before that, however, Luis Enrique’s men will have to do the job against FC Lorient, this Saturday (5 p.m.), during the 32nd day of Ligue 1. Leader with six points ahead of RC Lens, Paris has, in fact, the opportunity to take one more step towards the title. A match which should, moreover, allow the Ile-de-France coach to make a large turnover.

In the absence of Matvey Safonov, left to rest, and Lucas Chevalier, injured, Renato Marin should start in the Parisian cages. In defense, innovations are also expected. With the injury to Achraf Hakimi, Warren Zaire-Emery could return to this right-back position and be aligned alongside Willian Pacho, Lucas Hernandez and Senny Mayulu. In midfield, Lucas Beraldo is expected to accompany the young Dro Fernandez and Fabian Ruiz.

Finally, on the attacking front, Bradley Barcola could occupy the right lane while Ibrahim Mbaye will start on the other side. In a false number 9 position, Kang-In Lee should allow Ousmane Dembélé to breathe a little before the clash against the Bavarians. Opposite, Lorient, ninth in the standings, is expected in 3-4-2-1. In goal, Mvogo will once again be established and protected by a three-way defense made up of Silva, Talbi and Faye.

In the midfield, the Merlus will be able to count on the double pivot Abergel-Cadiou, well helped by Kouassi and Katseris, expected to start this game as pistons. In the offensive sector, Makengo and Pagis should, for their part, support the former Marseillais Bamba Dieng. Very in good shape since the start of 2026, the Lorient striker will inevitably be keen to shake the Ile-de-France nets.
