This Saturday, for Matchday 15 of the 2025-2026 Ligue 1 season, Paris Saint-Germain faces Rennes at the Parc des Princes (kick-off at 9:05 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 – Barcola
Mayulu – Vitinha – Neves
Hernandez – Pacho – Zabarnyi – Zaïre-Emery
Safonov.
L’Equipe (4-3-3) –
Kvaratskhelia – Dembélé – Barcola
Ruiz- Vitinha – Neves
Hernandez – Pacho – Marquinhos – Zaïre-Emery
Safonov.
Every possible lineup, but there are always some doubts. Luis Enrique knows how to surprise the press, the fans, and the opponents. All the better, this unpredictability is a strength. There are numerous options given the competition and versatility within the squad.
With PSG having had a week to prepare, which is unusual, we can expect a sort of “rehearsal” before the Champions League match this Wednesday against Athletic Bilbao. However, it probably won’t be exactly the same team. A bit of physical caution is necessary, while also ensuring everyone is kept fit for the entire season.
Ousmane Dembélé could start, as the 28-year-old forward has already made two substitute appearances before the full week of preparation. However, this is not yet confirmed. We’ll have to wait for the official announcement, around an hour before the match, for certainty.
