This is a PSG predicted lineup for the first knockout round of the Club World Cup. There is a reunion on the cards as they take on Inter Miami who are currently spearheaded by Lionel Messi. In addition, Luis Enrique was the manager of the iconic MSN trio and will take on two of the three here as Luis Suarez also leads the line for the MLS team. How will the Parisiens set up for this one after feeling the loss of Ousmane Dembele in the group stage.
PSG Predicted Lineup vs Inter Miami for Club World Cup Tie
How PSG Have Lined Up So Far
Gianluigi Donnarumma has been the go-to in goal. The strongest pack line is Achraf Hakimi, Nuno Mendes, Marquinhos, and Pacho. Lucas Hernandez and Lucas Beraldo rotated in for the loss against Botafogo.

Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz, and Joao Neves is the preferred trio in the middle. Senny Mayulu and Warren Zaire-Emery came in to rotate in the second group game. Up front has been Desire Doue and Kvicha Kvaratskhelia out wide with Goncalo Ramos initially starting as the striker. Ramos was dropped for Mayulu in the 2-0 win against Seattle Sounders in a tactical switch.
PSG Recent Form and Tactics
Enrique has continued to use his standard 4-3-3 setup with a focus on ball movement and recycling possession. We saw some of the weaknesses of this with Ramos up front as his team were kept at bay by a resilient defense, things were back to normal with Mayulu moved up front as it brougth back the element of suprise as the front three can interchange almost at will, it’s this aspect which makes his setup dangerous.

Two wins from three in the group stage is respectable, especially as one was a 4-0 demolition of Atletico Madrid. The 2-0 win over Seattle wasn’t as emphatic on the scoreline but the performance was just as good. While they did lose to South American opposition, they’ll be fairly confident of making it a long way into this tournament.
PSG Injuries to Consider
Star attacker Dembele has yet to feature in this tournament. The French international has been back in training and appears to be ready but he may not be risked from the start.
