This Sunday, as part of Matchday 9 of Ligue 1 2024-2025, Paris Saint-Germain (1st) take on Olympique de Marseille (3rd) at the Stade Vélodrome (kick-off 8:45pm, Paris time). On the eve of the match, the press took a closer look at the teams to be fielded by coaches Luis Enrique and Roberto De Zerbi.

Given the medical update, this team looks possible, with only a doubt from the Parisian between Lee and Asensio. But there’s no certainty. We regularly see that the press does not have precise information on Luis Enrique’s choices. He knows how to surprise the media, fans and opponents alike.
Nevertheless, there are trends emerging, with players often starting in the “big games”. But the competition is still in place, and some disappointments, particularly in terms of efficiency, against PSV Eindhoven on Tuesday could lead to changes. As well as possible fatigue. Not to mention the analysis made by the Spaniard and his staff of the opponent.
Asensio has more experience and is perhaps more of a “killer” than Lee, but the latter is sharper, presses more aggressively and is more mobile. We’re not ruling out Randal Kolo Muani as a front-runner, with his speed and physical strength, as well as his presence in the box (especially when heading). Even if he’s been in more difficulty. There are other options, such as Désiré Doué in midfield or in an attacking role.

Here too, there are a few uncertainties, not least of which is the fact that there is no set pattern. This could change depending on the phase of play, between possession of the ball or not. And let’s not forget that Roberto De Zerbi is capable of surprises.
