This Sunday, for Matchday 20 of the 2025-2026 Ligue 1 season, Paris Saint-Germain (1st) faces Strasbourg (7th) at the Stade de la Meinau (kick-off at 8:45 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 – Doué
Zaïre-Emery – Vitinha – Neves
Mendes – Pacho – Zabarnyi – Hakimi
Safonov.
L’Equipe (4-3-3) –
Barcola – Dembélé – Doué
Mayulu – Vitinha – Zaïre-Emery
Mendes – Pacho – Zabarnyi – Hakimi
Safonov.
These are all possible lineups, but we always say to remain cautious. These aren’t certainties, since Luis Enrique doesn’t give any information to the press. The main thing is to try and anticipate, taking into account the competition for places and the players’ physical condition. And of course, analyzing the opponent is essential.
However, only the coach and his staff have all the information. The battle for playing time also takes place in training, and fitness isn’t judged solely on minutes played, even if that’s an important factor. We expect a very competitive team, perhaps with some rotation following the Champions League match. But there’s still time before the home game against Marseille next Sunday.
