This Sunday, for Matchday 30 of the 2025-2026 Ligue 1 season, Paris Saint-Germain (1st) faces Olympique Lyonnais (5th) at the Parc des Princes (kick-off at 8:45 PM, CET). Ahead of this match, the press has been trying to predict the starting lineup that Parisian coach Luis Enrique will field.
Le Parisien (4-3-3) –
Barcola – Dembélé – Kvaratskhelia
Mayulu – Vitinha – Zaïre-Emery
Hernandez – Pacho – Zabarnyi – Hakimi
Safonov.
L’Equipe (4-3-3) –
Barcola – Dembélé – Kvaratskhelia
Zaïre-Emery – Vitinha – Mayulu
Hernandez – Pacho – Zabarnyi – Hakimi
Chevalier.
Each lineup is possible, but none is a certainty. Coach Luis Enrique doesn’t reveal his choices to the media; the focus is on anticipating them based on recent and upcoming matches. This is all happening amidst fierce competition, player management (both resting and keeping them engaged), and analysis of the opposition.
With a squad brimming with versatility and talent, many options are possible. With a Ligue 1 title to win, and hopefully soon, we expect a team built for competitiveness. Especially since Lyon is an opponent to be taken very seriously.
However, some rotation is also expected after the intense Champions League quarter-final against Liverpool. And the next match is already this Wednesday against Nantes, a rescheduled game from Matchday 26. Managing the squad will be crucial in the coming weeks.
