For its part, the Alsatian team is having a much more mixed start to the season. Twelfth after two losses against Lens then Nantes, the RCSA hopes, in fact, to avoid a third consecutive defeat on the national scene. A mission which promises to be, despite everything, arduous in the face of the Parisian offensive armada. For this meeting, Patrick Vieira should therefore trust a 4-3-3. In goal, Sels will be protected by a four-man defense made up of Senaya, Nyamsi, Perrin and Delaine.
PSG with Dembélé, Mbappé and Ramos in attack, Ruiz in midfield?
In midfield, Doukouré should start in a sentry role and be accompanied by Deminguet and Mwanga. As a reminder, Aholou is absent for this shock. Finally on the attacking front, Sahi Dion is expected to start alongside Bakwa and Diarra. Opposite, Luis Enrique could renew his 4-3-3. Ahead of Donnarumma, expected in the Parisian cages, Hernandez, Skriniar, Marquinhos and Hakimi, very fit before the break, are announced as starters.
In the midfield and in the absence of young Warren Zaire-Emery, injured in the left ankle with the Espoirs, the Spanish technician should line up a trident composed of Fabian Ruiz, Manuel Ugarte and Vitinha. Finally, to shake the opposing nets, Ousmane Dembélé and Kylian Mbappé, very prominent against the Netherlands, are expected to start alongside Gonçalo Ramos, preferred to Randal Kolo Muani. Author of an XXL international truce with South Korea, Lee Kang-In could benefit from a few minutes during this meeting.
