Shock time! To close the 6th day of Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain hosts Olympique de Marseille, Sunday evening (8:45 p.m.) at the Parc des Princes. Two teams with very different dynamics, at least on an extra-sporting level. If the capital club wants to continue after its victory against Borussia Dortmund in the middle of the week and thus definitively forget its first setback of the season against OGC Nice last weekend, the residents of the Orange Vélodrome will, as for them, closing a week under high tension.
Between tensions with supporter groups, the hasty departure of coach Marcelino and the withdrawal of president Pablo Longoria, who ultimately decided to stay in his post, the Olympian rival is, in fact, plunged into enormous institutional turmoil. At the foot of the podium with nine units, the men of Pancho Abardonado, appointed interim, will still be keen to strike a big blow in Paris, moreover after having won an unexpected draw on the field of Ajax Amsterdam (3- 3), Thursday for the first day of the Europa League group stage.

PSG with Ramos, OM with Aubameyang!
For this meeting, Luis Enrique should still be deprived of Nuno Mendes, Nordi Mukiele and Presnel Kimpembe. From then on, the former coach of La Roja could opt for a 4-3-3 and renew almost the same squad as the one who emerged victorious from his duel against the Marsupiaux. In goal, Gianluigi Donnarumma would then be protected by Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Milan Skriniar and Lucas Hernandez. In the middle, the young Warren Zaire-Emery should once again start alongside Manuel Ugarte and Vitinha. Finally, Ousmane Dembélé and Kylian Mbappé are expected to surround Gonçalo Ramos, preferred to Randal Kolo Muani.
For his part, Pancho Abardonado will have to do without Ismaïla Sarr, injured in the ischios, and could decide to line up a 4-3-3 where Pau Lopez would start in the Marseille cages. In defense, Jonathan Clauss, Samuel Gigot, Chancel Mbemba and Renan Lodi are announced as starters. In the midfield, Valentin Rongier and Jordan Veretout should accompany Geoffrey Kondogbia. For the offensive sector, the Marseille technician should trust Amine Harit, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Iliman Ndiaye.
