This eighth finals of the Coupe de France in Pau really looks like a chore for PSG. This mid-week meeting is part of an already very busy agenda, it is a fifth trip in a row and probably on the worst lawn of the lot. Thomas Tuchel will therefore rotate his workforce and try to minimize the risk of injury and surprise elimination … For various reasons, no Juan Bernat, Marquinhos, Thiago Silva, Edinson Cavani, Neymar, Abdou Diallo or Thomas Meunier in the group, and heavy work to be expected on the bench.
In the field, in front Sergio Rico, we should find a line of defense led by the captain Presnel Kimpembe with by his side Thilo Kehrer or Tanguy Kouassi. On the sides we can think of seeing Colin Dagba and Layvin Kurzawa, after the transfer failed. In the midfield, playing time will certainly be offered to Leo Paredes, Ander Herrera, Pablo Sarabia and Adil Aouchiche. We can imagine that Julian Draxler will lead the game in support ofEric Choupo-Moting.
