ℹ️ Team News: St Etienne

It seems likely that Les Verts look set to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation for this one featuring Gautier Larsonneur, Yvann Macon, Pierre Ekwah, Mickael Nade, Leo Petrot, Lamine Fomba, Florian Tardieu, Irvin Cardona, Benjamin Bouchouari, Zuriko Davitashvili and Lucas Stassin.

📋 Team News: PSG

Out of a mainly available group, there’s only the sole fitness problem for the PSG manager Luis Enrique to be concerned about. Kang-in Lee (Foot injury) won’t be playing here.

From our viewpoint, Les Rouge-et-Bleu might elect for a 4-3-3 formation by sending out Gianluigi Donnarumma, Achraf Hakimi, Lucas Beraldo, Willian Pacho, Nuno Mendes, Warren Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz, Desire Doue, Ousmane Dembele and K. Kvaratskhelia.

⚡ Prediction

We believe that Paris Saint-Germain will probably dominate possession and create several successful chances.

At the same time, St Etienne won’t find it easy scoring goals but we think it’s quite likely that they will be being dangerous at times.

Therefore, we are anticipating a pretty comfortable 1-3 win for Paris Saint-Germain when the full-time whistle blows.
