It’s the shock of the 32nd finals of the Coupe de France. At the Bollaert-Delelis stadium, RC Lens, seventh in Ligue 1, welcomes Paris Saint-Germain, full of confidence after two important victories against OL (3-1) and AS Monaco (2-4) . Solid leader of the French championship, the capital club will therefore be keen to continue to finish this year 2024 as best as possible.
Hooked by AJ Auxerre on the last day after two successes against Reims and Montpellier, the Sang et Or will try, for their part, to thwart the predictions, but will have to do without several executives. Thus, Ruben Aguilar, Wesley Saïd, Martin Satriano, Rémy Labeau-Lascary, but also Brice Samba will be missing. From then on, Will Still should opt for a 4-4-2 with Hervé Koffi, starting for the first time this season in the Lens cages.
PSG without Barcola and Donnarumma
In front of him, Frankowski, Danso, Khusanov and Medina are expected to form the defensive quartet while Thomasson, El Aynaoui, Chavez and Zaroury will be associated in the midfield. Finally, Fulgini and Nzola are announced as starters at the forefront of the Artesian attack. For his part, Luis Enrique will have to cope without Gigio Donnarumma, withdrawn after his terrible shock with Wilfried Singo on Wednesday evening.
To replace the last Italian rampart, Safonov should therefore be established in a 4-3-3 where Marquinhos and Pacho could be associated in the central hinge. Zaire-Emery and Nuno Mendes would start in the corridors while Ruiz, Vitinha and Neves are expected to start in midfield. On a cloud over the last few weeks, Doué has once again been announced as a starter, just like Dembélé and Ramos, decisive since his return to competition.
