This Saturday, Paris Saint-Germain (6th) face Strasbourg (11th) at the Stade de la Meinau in Matchday 7 of the 2026-2027 Ligue 1 season (kick-off at 5:15 PM, CET). Paris manager Luis Enrique must select his starting XI—having already named the squad for the match—while taking into account the opponent, upcoming fixtures, and suspension risks.
As always, predicting the lineup Coach Luis Enrique will field is no easy task. He relies on intense competition—which plays out in daily training—as well as the versatility of his squad.
Of course, this is compounded by the delicate task of managing the squad between two Champions League clashes against Manchester City and FC Barcelona. There is a need to keep the whole squad engaged, maintain match fitness, and rest certain players. Some form of rotation is expected; we will have to wait and see exactly what shape it takes.
Possible lineup:
Kvaratskhelia – Torres – Akliouche
Ruiz – Beraldo – Neves
Digne – Pacho – Zabarnyi – Zaïre-Emery
Safonov.
Substitutes: Chevalier, Mouak, Hakimi, Hernandez, Mendes, Dro, Vitinha, Akliouche, Dembélé, Doué.
Out: Longoni, Mayulu (injury), Marquinhos (rest), Ndjantou (selection decision).
Potential suspension due to yellow cards: None.
