This Saturday, Paris Saint-Germain (ranked 2nd) will play against Metz (ranked 18th) at the Parc des Princes for Matchday 23 of the 2025-2026 Ligue 1 campaign (starting at 9:05 PM, CET). PSG manager Luis Enrique needs to decide on his starting lineup, considering the opposition, future fixtures, and the possibility of suspensions, following the selection of the team for this match.
It’s consistently challenging to predict all of Luis Enrique’s decisions. That’s a positive aspect, as it also creates a challenge for the opposing side. Although the general style of play stays consistent, certain elements will differ based on the players’ characteristics. There will be a strong team competing, and we need to respect our rivals while striving for victory in this highly competitive championship race.
Nevertheless, rotation is anticipated as the game falls between two UEFA Champions League matches (play-off against AS Monaco). It is important to manage playing time, considering both rest and ensuring all players receive adequate minutes. Achieving the correct balance is crucial; only the coaching team has complete information.
Possible lineup:
Kvaratskhelia – Ramos – Mbaye
Doué – Lee – Dro
Hernandez – Beraldo – Zabarnyi – Hakimi
Chevalier
SubstitutesMarquinhos, Mendes, Pacho, Neves, Vitinha, Zaïre-Emery, Barcola
UnavailableDembélé, Mayulu, Ndjantou, Ruiz (injured)
Potential suspension due to a yellow card:None.
