Team News

PSG
Auxerre
  • Lionel Messi will miss out here; look for Carlos Soler to start behind the front two.
  • Fabian Ruiz remains unavailable, and Renato Sanches should start in his place.
  • PSG could also play with three at the back, with Nordi Mukiele playing in the back three and Vitinha and Marco Verratti playing as a two.
  • Kylian Mbappé is expected to be fit after being taken off as a precaution last weekend.
  • M'Baye Niang is back from suspension and should start in attack.
  • Rayan Raveloson looks to have supplanted Paul Joly at right back.

Prediction

  • Christophe Pelissier has injected the visitors with a newfound solidity and this could make this a tougher match than it looks on paper.
  • That said, PSG will be eager to finish the season's "first half" on a good note, especially with Lens and most of their nominal pursuers facing far tougher opponents this weekend.

  • Messi pass to Mendes was a way more valuable than Mendes assist to Mbappé... ratings are sometimes unfair to judge Messi

  • @JoacoMedina Messi's pass was beautiful. but Assist is Assist. By the way, I agree with you messi should be get some more point. whoscored.com needs to improve the rating system.

  • @FairF00tballFan even so, not sure how it's not classed as a key pass.

  • @jonejo34 you're right.

  • Neymar has forgotten how to dribble. Untill one or two years ago he was always amongst the 5 best in the world. Currently he ranks 50th in dribbles per game.

  • Messi to score or assist. XD.

  • Messi joined PSG training. will he start or not?

  • @SagorSrkian He starts the game.
