Lille – PSG: probable lineups

Impressive at the start of the season with two crushing victories against Le Havre (1-4) and Montpellier (6-0), the Parisians will have the chance to reclaim their throne as leader of the French Championship this evening. Overtaken by OM, victorious against Toulouse yesterday (3-1), Luis Enrique’s men will have to overcome a confident team: LOSC. With its two victories against Reims (2-0) and Angers (2-0), Lille has still not conceded a goal in the championship this season. The cherry on the cake: the Dogues secured their Champions League qualification this week against Slavia Prague (3-2 aggregate score), enough to fuel their confidence a little more.

For this clash, Bruno Genesio should line up a classic: Lucas Chevalier, who could also be called up to the Bleus for the first time in his career if Alphonse Areola forfeits today, will start in goal. From right to left, Algerian international Aïssa Mandi, French hopeful Bafodé Diakité, and Brazilian Alexsandro will make up the three-man defense. Thomas Meunier and Gudmundsson will occupy the corridors of the 3-4-3, while Benjamin André and Icelander Haraldsson will line up in support of rookie Osame Sahraoui, Edon Zhegrova, and Jonathan David. A starter last weekend against Angers, Ethan Mbappé should not start the match.

Still no Randal Kolo Muani

For his part, Luis Enrique should not have any big surprises in store for us either. Gianluigi Donnarumma will be supported by Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos and Pacho. The only unknown is the left-back position, since Nuno Mendes, ill, was unable to answer the call for this match. Logically, Lucas Beraldo should take on this role, the Brazilian having already shown in the past that he has the ability to occupy the position. In midfield, the trio with an average age of 20 will obviously be renewed.

A week after an XXL performance against MHSC, the French international Warren Zaire-Emery, as well as the two Portuguese players, Joao Neves, already author of 4 assists in 2 days, and Vitinha, will be in the starting line-up. On the right wing, Ousmane Dembélé will be tasked with bringing imbalance, like Bradley Barcola, his counterpart on the left. Note that the ex-Lyonnais will have to score at least 2 goals to regain the top of the scorers’ ranking, Mason Greenwood now totaling 5 goals after his double yesterday against Toulouse. Finally, as against Montpellier, Asensio will be preferred to Randal Kolo Muani up front.
