This Friday, Paris Saint-Germain (2nd) faces Lille (4th) at the Parc des Princes for Matchday 18 of the 2025-2026 Ligue 1 season (kick-off at 9 pm, CET). This Friday, Le Parisien published a probable PSG lineup.
Barcola – Dembélé – Kvaratskhelia
Doué – Vitinha – Mayulu
Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos – Zaïre-Emery
Chevalier.
A team that seems quite possible, but is far from certain since coach Luis Enrique doesn’t usually leak information about his choices to the press. There are often surprises, as his lineups are particularly difficult to predict.
This is because there is fierce competition and a certain versatility within the squad. Also, the Spaniard isn’t afraid of making “bold choices” and wants to involve the entire group. The key is to “earn” playing time through hard work in training. Sessions to which we don’t have access. On the other hand, we know that João Neves has joined the injured list, in addition to Achraf Hakimi and Ibrahim Mbaye, who are still at the Africa Cup of Nations.
For this match, there’s also the return of the Champions League on Tuesday (matchday 7, against Sporting Lisbon) to keep in mind. Even if the rotation made in the Coupe de France on Monday against Paris FC suggests some choices. With, no doubt, changes made to “manage” the squad during the match.
