After a period of international break, Ligue 1 has finally resumed its rights. While AS Monaco could not do better than a draw against LOSC on Friday evening, Paris Saint-Germain, held in check by OGC Nice during their last outing, is preparing, with its side, to cross swords with the Racing Club de Strasbourg, seventh in the ranking. Runner-up to the Monegasques at kick-off, the capital club will have no room for error and will have to pocket all three points to stay in touch, and why not even regain the lead.
A victory which would also allow the Rouge et Bleu to build confidence, three days before receiving PSV Eindhoven on the European scene. However, the mission will not be easy for Luis Enrique’s men, especially against the Alsatians who have an attractive team and an already well-oiled game. Confident of his strengths, the Spanish technician should align his traditional 4-3-3 with Gianluigi Donnarumma in the cages, and a very reworked quartet to protect him.
PSG wants to avoid the Alsatian trap
In front of the Italian goalkeeper, the Parisian defense would thus be made up of Warren Zaire-Emery, replaced as right-back, Skriniar, Lucas Beraldo and Nuno Mendes, the only usual holder to survive. In the midfield, the young Joao Neves could be associated with two other internationals, namely his compatriot Vitinha and Fabian Ruiz. Finally, Kang-In Lee and Bradley Barcola are announced as starters and should support Marco Asensio, aligned at the forefront of the Ile-de-France attack, and preferred to Randal Kolo Muani injured in the left ankle and withdrawn.
For his part, Liam Rosenior should opt for a 3-5-2. Already starting in the draw against Lens (2-2), Djordje Petrovic would start in goal and could be accompanied by a defensive trio composed of Mamadou Sarr, Saïdou Sow and Abakar Sylla. A rearguard which will also be able to count on the precious support of pistons Marvin Senaya and Diego Moreira. In midfield, captain Habib Diarra would be accompanied by Andrey Santos. Finally, Sebastian Nanasi, impressive since the restart, is logically expected alongside Dilane Bakwa in support of Emanuel Emegha.
