Paris Saint-Germain travels to Newcastle for the 2nd day of the Champions League group stage (9 p.m.). Here is the expected lineup for the Parisians.
This Wednesday evening, Paris Saint-Germain will have a response to give after a fairly ordinary performance on the Clermont pitch (0-0). The capital club hopes to reap new success in Newcastle to refuel in the Champions League after their successful entry against Borussia Dortmund two weeks ago (2-0).
The starting lineup of the Parisians should be largely remodeled compared to the last matches. In the animation as in the choice of men. After opting for a system with 4 professional attackers against Olympique de Marseille (4-0) then Clermont (0-0), Luis Enrique intends to return to his 4-3-3 pattern to densify the midfield.
For Paris, the midfield battle will be one of the keys to the match against the Magpies known for their intensity. But beyond the chosen diagram, it is also dependent on the aligned profiles. Vitinha was spared against OM, before the Ugarte – Zaire-Emery tandem was left to rest in Clermont. The three men, who have their mark, are expected at kick-off for this fight in England.
Furthermore, Lucas Hernandez should also return to the starting lineup after blowing away at Clermont. Donnarumma, Skriniar and Marquinhos will continue, while Hakimi is expected higher up the field. Finally, the irremovable Kylian Mbappé will lead an offensive line in which several players are in balance, like Randal Kolo Muani and Gonçalo Gamos for the center forward position.
The expected lineup for PSG : Donnarumma – Hakimi, Marquinhos, Skriniar, L.Hernandez – Zaire-Emery, Ugarte, Vitinha – Dembélé, Ramos or Kolo Muani, Mbappé.
