📋 Team News: PSG

In our view, Les Rouge-et-Bleu may well go for a 4-3-3 system for the game and select Gianluigi Donnarumma, Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Willian Pacho, Nuno Mendes, Joao Neves, Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz, Desire Doue, Ousmane Dembele and K. Kvaratskhelia.

📰 Team News: AJ Auxerre

AJ Auxerre boss Christophe Pélissier has some current player fitness concerns. Kévin Danois (Hamstring injury) and Nathan Buayi-Kiala (Cruciate ligament injury) will miss out on this game.

We believe AJA will likely begin the game with a 3-2-4-1 formation, choosing Donovan Leon, Sinaly Diomande, Jubal, Clement Akpa, Ki-Jana Hoever, Gideon Mensah, Gaetan Perrin, Elisha Owusu, Han-Noah Massengo, Hamed Traore and Lassine Sinayoko.

🔮 Prediction

We’re inclined to think that Paris Saint-Germain should have the majority of the possession and should be able to turn a few of their chances into goals.

Conversely, AJ Auxerre will be up against it to make a breakthrough although we do see them getting the chances to score, too.

Our selection here is for a 3-1 winning margin for Paris Saint-Germain at the conclusion of the game.
