This Saturday, on matchday 6 of the 2025-2026 Ligue 1 season, Paris Saint-Germain (2nd) will face Auxerre (10th) at the Parc des Princes (kick-off at 9:05 PM, CET). Ahead of this match, the press has attempted to predict the starting lineup that Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique will field.
Le Parisien (4-3-3) –
Barcola – Lee – Kvaratskhelia
Ruiz – Vitinha – Zaïre-Emery
Hernandez – Pacho – Zabarnyi – Hakimi
Chevalier.
L’Equipe (4-3-3) –
Kvaratskhelia – Ramos – Mbaye
Mayulu – Vitinha – Lee
Hernandez – Pacho – Zabarnyi – Zaïre-Emery
Chevalier.
Any lineup is a possibility, but there’s no certainty. This is because coach Luis Enrique doesn’t give any hints to the press, but also because there are many factors to consider that only he and his staff know about. These include daily training observations, the exact physical condition of each player, and a detailed analysis of the opponent.
All of this takes place with a Champions League match coming up on Wednesday, away against FC Barcelona. This is an important factor, even though the players will need to focus on tonight’s game. Vitinha could get a rest after playing a lot recently, even though both media outlets predict he will start. The same goes for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Lee could also play as a central midfielder, a defensive midfielder, or in attack. As a winger or as a false 9. There are many options; let’s wait for the official announcement about an hour before the match to be sure.
