This is a PSG predicted lineup for their final group stage game of the Club World Cup. A shocking defeat to Botafogo makes this a must-win for the Champions League holders or they could risk falling out of the tournament entirely. There was some rotation against the Brazilian side and Ousmane Dembele wasn’t rushed back so the manager could have some tricks up his sleeve for this one.

How PSG Have Lined Up So Far
Gianluigi Donnarumma has started both matches in goal. Achraf Hakimi, Pacho, Lucas Hernandez, Lucas Beraldo, Nuno Mendes, and Marquinhos have started in defence. The first-choice trio in midfield is Joao Neves, Vitinha, and Fabian Ruiz but Warren Zaire-Emery and Senny Mayulu rotated in for the most recent defeat.

Up front, there’s been little to no movement as Desire Doue, Kvicha Kvaratskhelia, and Goncalo Ramos have led the line in the absence of Dembele. Bradley Barcola has been kept mostly to a substitute role.
PSG Recent Form & Tactics
Luis Enrique has set up in his usual 4-3-3 with an emphasis on keeping and recycling the ball. In the recent loss to Botafogo they had 75% of the possession but there was a spark absent. The usual free-flowing front three and dangerous runs of Mendes were missing due to the rotation. With Ramos as the striker there’s slightly less unpredictability with how they move which has worked against them.

La Parisiens were unstoppable towards the end of the season, and a 5-0 win in the Champions League final was a mark of their dominance. It looked like more of the same in their opening Club World Cup game when they beat Atletico Madrid by four goals. This hit a minor blip in their last outing, but there’s no doubt they’ll be back at their best pretty quickly.
PSG Injuries to Consider
There is a mostly clean bill of health, although questions still swirl around Dembele who returned to training but is being eased back in.
