On the eve of the meeting between the two clubs, it is already possible to define the broad outlines of the team compositions for PSG/Reims. On the Parisian side, it is above all fatigue from the last match which should dictate the starting eleven.
Just three days after its superb 4-2 victory in the Champions League against Manchester City and four days before the decisive trip to Stuttgart in the same competition, PSG returns to the Parc des Princes this Saturday evening (9:05 p.m.) as part of the 19th day of Ligue 1. Paris will be opposed to a Stade de Reims in total discomfiture for months, the last victory in L1 dating back to November, and the probable compositions for this PSG / Reims are not easy to predict, especially on the Parisian side where there is a lot of fatigue.
A big turnover expected for this PSG/Reims
And Donnarumma is expected with the aim rather than Safonovwatch out for a possible turnover in this position, the Russian not having played in 2025 which could pose a rhythm problem. In defense, Judge et Marquinhos who had not played the previous week should continue while Beraldo et Hernandez are serious candidates. Waited to replace Mendes in Stuttgart, Hernandez could well cut his teeth this weekend, just to continue to get back into the rhythm of the competition as well.
In the middle, the players who have played the least PSG/City are necessarily the most serious competitors, so not Vitinha et Neves who ended up very tired, and Fabian Ruiz like Warren Zaire-Emery are players to seriously consider for this PSG/Reims, the first as sentry, the second as right relay. Third place in the middle could well go to Senny Mayuluthe position of left relay player suits him perfectly.
On the offensive side, rookie Khvicha is expected to Kvaratskhelia plays his first minutes. Having not played since the end of December, will he be fit to start? This is one of the questions that arises, but the Georgian quickly needs to be integrated. After a week of forced rest, Dembele’s should be able to continue and the last place risks being played out between Gonçalo Ramos et Lee Kang-in. Still a scorer after coming into play, the Portuguese could have another chance as a starter. Used a lot recently, Barcola and Doué could however take a breather.
-A possible composition of PSG against Reims: Donnarumma or Safonov – Hakimi, Marquinhos, Beraldo, Hernandez – Zaire-Emery, Ruiz, Mayulu – Dembélé, Ramos or Lee, Kvaraskhelia
Reims expected in 4-3-3 against PSG
On the Reims side, the composition which will challenge PSG should be in line with recent weeks given that Luka Elsner does not have many solutions anyway. In defense, a doubt exists on the left side between Akieme and the young blood who recently took over the starting position. For this necessarily special match, the experience of the first city could however be favored by the Reims coach.
While Gabriel Moscardo will not play since he is with Brazil U20 for the Copa America of the category, it is the trio of the moment composed of A troublemaker, Atangana et Teuma which is expected in the midfield, with Atangana at low point. In front, This is expected on the right side and Nakamura has been playing up front for a few matches, Deacons imposing itself on the left side. But if Diakite was preferred in the axis, Nakamura would then find the left flank.
A possible composition of Reims against PSG: Diouf – Buta, Kipré, Okumu, Akieme or Sangui – Munetsi, Atangana, Teuma – Ito, Nakamura, Deacon or Diakhité
