The French championship is resuming its rights after a very lively end of the transfer window in France. On the program for this opening match of the 20th day of Ligue 1, a tantalizing duel between RC Strasbourg and PSG, at 9 p.m., on the Meinau lawn. Leader of the ranking (44pts) with a comfortable lead over Nice (38pts), Paris Saint-Germain is determined to return to victory after dropping two points at home against Stade Brestois last week (2-2). Less than two weeks before Real Sociedad hosts the Champions League, the Parisians will also want to take advantage of this trip to reassure themselves and gain confidence. Opposite, the Alsatians had a delicate start to the season, far from the initial expectations of the club’s leaders, but have found color in the last two months. And for good reason, undefeated for six matches, Patrick Vieira’s men have now returned to the rankings (10th, 25pts) and will seek to create the feat in front of their audience, a week after being hung on the lawn of Clermont (1-1 ).
This part will be followed live with live commentary on the French Football Weekly website from 9 p.m. For this new day of the championship, Luis Enrique, faced with numerous absences, is banking on continuity by maintaining his 4-3-3 playing system. The Iberian technician decided to start Kylian Mbappé at the forefront, associated with Marco Asensio and Randal Kolo Muani. The midfield is made up of Warren Zaire-Emery, Manuel Ugarte and Fabian Ruiz. Finally, Carlos Soler is aligned in defense alongside Marquinhos, Lucas Beraldo and Lucas Hernandez. For his part, Patrick Vieira offers a 4-3-3 playing system. Faced with the departure at the very end of the transfer window from Matz Sels, the French coach aligned the young Alaa Bellaarouch as goalkeeper. The midfield will be made up of the untenable trio Diarra-Sissoko-Mwanga, while the offensive line will be led by Angelô, Moïse Sahi Dion and Dilane Bakwa.
Composition of the teams:
RC Strasbourg : Bellaarouch – Guilbert, Perrin, Sylla, Senaya – Mwanga, Sissoko, Diarra – Bakwa, Dion, Angelô.
PSG: Donnarumma – Soler, Marquinhos, Beraldo, Lucas Hernandez – Zaire-Emery, Ugarte, Ruiz– Asensio, K. Mbappé, Kolo Muani.
