This Saturday, second-placed Paris Saint-Germain will face 12th-placed Brest at the Stade Francis Le-Blé in Matchday 9 of the 2025-2026 Ligue 1 (kick-off at 5 p.m.CET). Parisian coach Luis Enrique must choose his starting 11 players, taking into account the opponent, upcoming matches, and suspension risks, after naming the Parisian squad for this match.
PSG just recorded a solid victory against Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League on Tuesday. They now need to continue their form in Ligue 1 to try to reclaim the top spot vacated by Olympique de Marseille last weekend. Paris must not hang around, even if there’s nothing dramatic going on.
We expect a strong performance from a team built to win. Players recently back from injury should have time to continue building momentum. It remains to be seen how many minutes they can get, particularly Ousmane Dembélé and Marquinhos. There are also players who may need a break.
The schedule is packed, and we know that Luis Enrique pays attention to playing time, in addition to the competition and analyzing his opponent to find weaknesses. The team is always difficult to predict, even if we can have some ideas.
Possible lineup:
Kvaratskhelia – Dembélé – Doué
Mayulu – Vitinha – Lee
Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos – Hakimi
Chevalier
Substitutes– Safonov, Marin, Beraldo, Hernandez, Zabarnyi, Ndjantou, Zaïre-Emery, Barcola, Mbaye, Ramos.
Out- Neves, Ruiz (blessure).
Possible yellow card suspension: Lucas Hernandez.
This suspension would be effective for the trip to Lyon on Sunday, November 9th, as part of Matchday 12 of Ligue 1.
