With PSG and Lille set to clash in Ligue 1’s 24th matchday, early lineup indications are beginning to take shape.
No time to rest. PSG deliberately chose not to postpone this match, even though it comes just days before their crucial Champions League Round of 16 first leg.
Fresh off a dominant 7-0 victory in the Coupe de France against Saint-Brieuc, PSG is expected to field a full-strength defense featuring Donnarumma, Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, and Mendes. In midfield, Vitinha and Lee Kang-in, who were rested on Wednesday, should start, while the third spot remains a toss-up between Fabian Ruiz and João Neves. In attack, Dembélé could play as a false nine, flanked by Barcola and Doué on the wings.
Expected PSG lineup vs Lille:
Donnarumma – Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes – Lee, Vitinha, Ruiz or Neves – Doué, Dembélé, Barcola
Despite these initial lineup projections, Luis Enrique faces a delicate balancing act, as a crucial Champions League week looms ahead.
Expected Lille lineup vs PSG:
Chevalier – Meunier, Diakité, Alexsandro, Ismaily – Mukau, André, Bouaddi – Haraldsson, David, Bakker
