This Friday, for Matchday 19 of the 2025-2026 Ligue 1 season, Paris Saint-Germain (2nd) faces Auxerre (17th) at the Stade Abbé-Deschamps (kick-off at 8 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) –
Mbaye – Ramos – Kvaratskhelia
Mayulu – Vitinha – Doué
Hernandez – Beraldo – Zabarnyi – Zaïre-Emery
Chevalier.
L’Equipe (4-3-3) –
Barcola – Ramos – Kvaratskhelia
Doué – Vitinha – Zaïre-Emery
Hernandez – Pacho – Marquinhos – Zabarnyi
Chevalier.
These are teams that are possible, but we must remain cautious about them. It’s also likely that none of them will be at 100%, and besides, they are quite different. Luis Enrique doesn’t give instructions to the media and he knows how to surprise. We can expect rotation for this trip between two Champions League matches. It remains to be seen exactly who needs a rest, and who gets the opportunity to start.
This takes into account the analysis of the opponent, as well as doubts about the fitness of players returning from international duty. This includes Ibrahim Mbaye, who played in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations last Sunday in Morocco but should be in the squad.
We’ll have to wait for confirmation. That will come with the official announcement of the lineups, about an hour before kickoff.
