Shock day at the Parc des Princes. At the opening of the 13th day of Ligue 1, PSG hosts AS Monaco, first against third in the championship standings. A match that we imagine to be open and focused on the offensive, due to the philosophy of the two coaches and the presence of great attackers on both sides. In this case, Paris-SG will obviously be led by the former Monegasque Kylian Mbappé, who will be associated with Ousmane Dembélé and Gonçalo Ramos, whose purchase option has just been exercised. The Portuguese is preferred to Randal Kolo Muani. Remember that the French champions are deprived of Warren Zaire-Emery and Marquinhos. Numerically, Fabian Ruiz and Nordi Mukiele enter the 11. The latter should however evolve on the left, with Lucas Hernandez refocused. Affected with Uruguay, Manuel Ugarte is among the Parisian starters. Vitinha is there too, rather than Kang-in Lee for example.
On the Monaco side, Folarin Balogun is preferred to Wissam Ben Yedder, replacement. The American international striker will be supported by the Minamino/Golovin duo in the offensive sector. In goal, obviously Philipp Köhn, who remains in two matches without conceding a goal. Note the return of Vanderson, injured for a long time, the Brazilian piston having not played since the end of September. In the absence of the suspended French international Youssouf Fofana, coach Hütter relied on a Camara/Zakaria pair for recovery. For the rest, no surprise for the ASM.
