Winner of Juventus (2-1) on the first day of the group stage of the Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain must confirm their good European comeback in Israel. Facing Maccabi Haifa, Christophe Galtier’s men will be the big favorites in this match once morest the opponent considered, a priori, as the weakest in the group.
For this meeting, the Parisian coach will still be deprived of three men: Presnel Kimpembe, Keylor Navas and Renato Sanches. For the rest, “Galette” should align a fairly classic starting lineup. Gianluigi Donnarumma in the cages with, in front of him, Sergio Ramos, Marquinhos and Danilo Pereira who should therefore compensate for the absence of Kimpembe.
Two changes announced at PSG
A notch above, the only change should be the tenure of Nordi Mukiele in place of Achraf Hakimi in the right lane. Nuno Mendes will occupy the left flank and the Marco Verratti-Vitinha duo will be at the heart of the game. Finally, the magic trident Lionel Messi-Neymar-Kylian Mbappé will once once more be aligned.
Opposite, Maccabi Haifa should be aligned in 4-3-3 with Cohen in goal. A four-man defense made up of Batubinsika, Goldberg, Sundgren and Cornud. The Israeli midfield would be animated by the trio Haziza, Ravi and Mohamed. Finally, Bakhar’s men will try to plant banderillas with Chery, Pierrot and Atzili.
