This Wednesday, in a rescheduled match from Matchday 29 of the 2025-2026 Ligue 1 season, Paris Saint-Germain (1st) faces Lens (2nd) at the Stade Bollaert (kick-off at 9 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) –
Kvaratskhelia – Dembélé – Doué
Dro – Vitinha – Neves
Hernandez – Beraldo – Zabarnyi – Mayulu
Safonov
L’Equipe (4-3-3) –
Kvaratskhelia – Dembélé – Doué
Dro – Vitinha – Neves
Hernandez – Beraldo – Zabarnyi – Mayulu
Safonov
Every team is possible, but nothing is certain. Luis Enrique knows how to keep his cards close to his chest. The key is to try and anticipate, but there are often miscalculations since only he and his staff have all the information. This includes the players’ fitness levels and whether they need rest, as well as the daily competition for places and their analysis of the opponent.
Given the rotation planned for Sunday’s match in Brest and the possibility of officially clinching the title tonight, we can expect something close to a “first-choice” lineup with the available players. This leaves several options, including star players and a degree of versatility. We’ll wait until this evening, about an hour before kickoff, for the official lineup announcement.
