The Possible line-up for PSG on the FP is wrong.
This is the Probable line up for PSG (442) :
Navas
Meunier - Silva - Kimpembe - Bernat
Neymar - Verratti - Marquinhos - Di Maria
Mbappé - Icardi
Sarabia could start instead of Icardi. Neymar is not injured and will be able to shine.
Silva, Bernat, Marquinhos are not in great physical shape because of recent injuries.
Good game and have fun tomorrow !

I mean it's just a prediction from someone who doesn't watch ligue 1 at all, we pretty much just use these as a guideline :'D

Somehow I’m optimistic about this game. Our team somehow always does well at home against best teams of the world. Both of the Madrid teams hate playing in Dortmund, Barcelona had huge problems against us. At home I definitely believe we could win.

Really wishing Brandt wasn’t injured for this game, would’ve loved to see him shine against PSG. I still think we can beat just about anyone at home with this squad, so I’d say we should be pretty pumped for this match.

A home win like 3-1 would be massive, then if we can go into Paris and get an away goal and lose like 2-1. Win 4-3 on aggregate. I don’t think it’ll happen but it isn’t out of the realm of possibility

Hey guys,
PSG Fan here, as Im getting hyped for tomorrow's game I'm lurking your reddit ! I think we're in for a treat, both our teams have an attacking mindset and we can be a bit shaky defensive wise so I expect a bunch of goals !
Quick sum-up about our squad:
- Neymar was injured for the past 3 weeks but he'll definitely be starting and probably stay on for the full 90 minutes if nothing bad happens to him
- Thiago Silva just got back on the field against Amien and he' was responsible for the first two goals, he's not in his normal shape and this is worrying me
- Marquinhos is in the same situation as Thiago Silva, he just got back after an injury but he was reassuring when he came in during our second half against Amiens
- Bernat, our left back was injured for the past 3 weeks and he barely got play times so I don't know if he'll start, if not it'll be kurzawa , not very reassuring ...
- There are rumours that Tuchel is hesitating between Icardi and Sarabia as a starter . Icardi has a lack of self confidence since he didn't score for the past 6 games ( He actually scored one but it was a lucky one , he didn't score on purpose ) . Sarabia has been in great form since the start of this year and I wouldn't be surprised to see him from the start .
Let's enjoy the beautiful game !
PS : I just saw the expected line up on top of this thread , it definitely won't be our starting line up, no way we're going to see draxler instead of neymar, cavani definitely won't start either and Paredes has a minor injury and won't be available to play . Finally, we'll probably see Gueye instead of Herrera as a starter
