Match: First trends for the compositions of PSG / Monaco
On the eve of the meeting between PSG and Monaco, the first trends concerning team compositions are starting to emerge. The club of the capital should present a training without real surprise.
Relaunched after its convincing victory on the lawn of Bruges in the Champions League (4-1) on Tuesday, PSG receives Monaco this Sunday (8:45 p.m.) at the Parc des Princes, for the 18th day of Ligue 1. last outings in the league, the Parisians face this meeting with a team composition without surprise; while Julian Draxler and Neymar are already withdrawn, and Sergio Ramos and Nuno Mendes have not resumed collective training.
Holder in Belgium at the beginning of the week, Gianluigi Donnarumma should continue in the Parisian goal. It should be protected by the usual central hinge made up of Marquinhos and Presnel Kimpembe. On the sides, Achraf Hakimi is announced holder on the right, while Juan Bernat should unsurprisingly be aligned on the left after the blow received by Mendes in C1. In the middle, Mauricio Pochettino could renew the same trio as against Brugge with Wijnaldum, Verratti and Gueye, unless Paredes is preferred to the Dutchman. Even chosen in attack, Messi, Mbappé and Di Maria must once again be associated.
The possible team composition of PSG against Monaco: Donnarumma – Hakimi, Marquinhos, Kimpembe, Bernat – Wijnaldum (or Paredes), Verratti, Gueye – Messi, Mbappé, Di Maria.
On the Monaco side, Niko Kovac could opt for a 4-4-2 to try to reproduce the feat of the season when his team won at the Parc des Princes (2-0). The two real uncertainties concern the position of right side where Djibril Sidibé would be in balance with Ruben Aguilar, and the identity of the left winger between Sofiane Diop and Golovin. While Kévin Volland is suspended, Ben Yedder and Boadu must be aligned on the front of the Monegasque attack.
The possible team composition of Monaco against PSG: Nübel – Sidibé (or Aguilar), Disasi, Maripan, Caio Henrique – Gelson Martins, Fofana, Tchouaméni, Diop (or Golovin) – Ben Yedder, Boadu.
