Paris Saint-Germain will face off against Juventus at the Allianz Stadium this Wednesday night as they look to secure a good result in the UEFA Champions League and secure the top spot in their group. The French outfit managed to secure a hard-fought 4-3 win over Troyes recently which will give them more confidence ahead of this game.
Christophe Galtier will set his side up in a 4-3-3 formation and is expected to make a few tweaks to his first XI for this game. Achraf Hakimi, Fabin Ruiz and Pablo Sarabia could all play from the start in this midweek clash. However, Neymar Jr. will be sidelined for this game due to suspension.
4-3-3 Paris Saint-Germain Predicted Lineup To Face Juventus
Defence
Gianluigi Donnarumma will feature in between the sticks for the French club after shipping in three goals in his last outing. Marquinhos could get a chance to impress alongside Presnel Kimpembe at the heart of Galtier’s defence as they try to keep the Juventus attackers at bay during the 90 minutes.
Achraf Hakimi will fill in as the right-back while Nuno Mendes looks to give a good account of himself on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will get the license to get forward and join in on the attack at every chance they get.
Midfield
Fabian Ruiz, Marco Verratti and Carlos Soler will make up the PSG midfield as they focus on dominating possession at the centre of the park and engineer some clear-cut chances in the opponent’s half. Soler is enjoying a good run of form of late and would be eager to put in a good display in midweek.
Vitinha and Renato Sanches will have to settle for a spot on the bench as they await their chance to shine in the second half if Galtier decides to call upon their services.
Attack
Pablo Sarabia could get an opportunity to catch the eye as the left-sided wide player while Lionel Messi hopes to weave his magic from the right flank.
Kylian Mbappe will lead the charge for the Parisian giants on the attacking end of the field. The French striker will have to carry most of the goal-scoring workload for his team up top.
Neymar is suspended for this game but Hugo Ekitike will be available for selection on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the final quarter of the match if PSG are in need of a goal by then.
