This Wednesday, in a rescheduled match from Matchday 26 of the 2025-2026 Ligue 1 season, Paris Saint-Germain (1st) faces Nantes (17th) at the Parc des Princes (kick-off at 7 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
Neves – Zaïre-Emery – Lee
Hernandez – Pacho – Marquinhos – Hakimi
Safonov.
L’Equipe (4-3-3) –
Barcola – Dembélé – Kvaratskhelia
Mayulu – Lee – Neves
Hernandez – Marquinhos – Zabarnyi – Zaïre-Emery
Chevalier.
Each team has a chance, but nothing is certain as Luis Enrique isn’t giving any hints to the press. The press, in turn, must try to anticipate the lineup amidst numerous factors, including competition for places, squad management, and the need for a competitive starting eleven.
Even though the Parisian coach is mindful of his players’ rest, especially with the Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich on the horizon (April 28th and May 6th), winning is also crucial for the Ligue 1 title race. This could lead to a variety of choices, particularly given the squad’s versatility. The wisest course of action would be to wait for the official announcement, usually around an hour before the match, to have any certainty.
