After having made a significant turnover during the previous match in Brest (3-2), Luis Enrique could return to a slightly more classic starting team, this Friday evening (9 p.m.) during the reception of Montpellier. If the Spanish coach insisted at a press conference on the need to see a PSG “unpredictable for the opponent”, which always leaves the door to new experiments, certain players must find rhythm in anticipation of moving onto the pitch of AC Milan, next Tuesday, in the Champions League.
For this match on the 11th day of Ligue 1 against MHSC, 11th in the standings, the PSG coach will maintain his 4-3-3 which can be modulated into 4-4-2 in the offensive phase. It remains to be seen which Parisian will act as a tactical adjustment variable. Left on the bench in Brest, Vitinha could find a place in the eleven and occupy this mixed position by being aligned in the left lane or in the Parisian midfield depending on the phases of possession.
Kang-in Lee, very impactful in the previous match, could also start in this role. Also replacing during the victory in Brittany, Manuel Ugarte could return to the midfield alongside Warren Zaire-Emery, who once again received praise from his coach.
Towards a Dembélé-Mbappé-Kolo Muani association?
On the attacking front, we could also witness the reconstitution of a French offensive trio made up of Ousmane Dembélé, Kylian Mbappé and Randal Kolo Muani. In the little game of alternation with Gonçalo Ramos, the Parisian number 23 could thus regain a starting place up front after showing himself to his advantage coming off the bench against Brest (caused penalty). He will be looking for a third goal scored in Ligue 1.
Luis Enrique will be deprived for this meeting of long-time absentees (Presnel Kimpembe, Nuno Mendes, Marco Asensio, Keylor Navas) and Danilo Pereira, injured for a month.
PSG’s likely composition: Donnarumma – Hakimi, Marquinhos (cap), Skriniar, Lucas Hernandez – Dembele, Ugarte, Zaire-Emery, Vitinha (or Lee) – Kolo Muani, Mbappe.
