Paris Saint-Germain hosts Montpellier for the 2nd day of Ligue 1, this Friday evening (8:45 p.m.). Here is the expected line-up for the capital club.

After a successful first match on the Le Havre pitch (1-4), the

Paris Saint-Germain is back at it again this Friday evening with a highly anticipated reunion at the Parc des Princes, against Montpellier (kick-off at 8:45 p.m.). A match that Luis Enrique is tackling without his center forward Gonçalo Ramos, who has a serious ankle injury and is out for three months.

A big surprise therefore fuels this pre-match on the Parisian side: who will numerically replace Ramos in the offensive sector? In view of the coaching carried out by Luis Enrique at the Stade Océane, it is Marco Asensio who should be aligned in a false number 9 role.

First start for Joao Neves?

Ousmane Dembélé and Lee Kang-in are expected to accompany Asensio in this attacking trio, but Luis Enrique, always adept at counter-attacking, could also offer a first start this season to Bradley Barcola, especially as the French international showed in Normandy that he was already in good shape.

For the rest, there are no major surprises to be expected. Joao Neves could start for the first time in the Parisian jersey alongside Vitinha and Warren Zaire-Emery. Marquinhos should also be relaunched in the eleven, potentially alongside the rookie Pacho, which would slide Beraldo to the left side.

The expected line-up for PSG : Donnarumma – Hakimi, Marquinhos (c), Pacho, Beraldo – Vitinha, Neves, Zaire-Emery – Dembélé, Asensio, Lee.
