PSG vs Paris FC: Four Surprising Changes in the Expected Lineup for French Cup

PSG prepares for derby with Paris FC: Surprising lineup changes anticipated

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) gears up for a Coupe de France clash against Paris FC this Monday at 21:05, with a revamped lineup expected to hit the field. Following a narrow 2-1 victory in their previous derby, PSG is set to encounter its city rival once again.

PSG faces intense schedule, opts for experimental lineup

PSG is currently navigating a demanding schedule, competing across the Trophée des Champions, Ligue 1, Coupe de France, and the Champions League. With such a packed calendar, coach Luis Enrique is likely to field a reshuffled team for the upcoming match. Having played their near full-strength lineup recently, with Achraf Hakimi absent due to the Africa Cup of Nations, PSG is anticipated to introduce a more experimental team this time.

Goalkeeper position remains a point of discussion as young talent Renato Marin vies for a spot after debuting in the previous round. However, Lucas Chevalier is expected to continue in goal following his commendable performance against Marseille.

Defensive and midfield changes on the horizon

In defense, PSG plans to rely on backup players. Zaïre-Emery is likely to continue at right-back, while the central defense will see a new pairing with Zabarnyi and Beraldo. Lucas Hernandez is anticipated to replace Nuno Mendes on the left. The midfield is also set for changes, with Senny Mayulu likely to start, and Gonçalo Ramos, the hero from the Marseille match, expected to feature prominently as a starter.
