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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n

With Ramos as the striker there’s slightly less unpredictability with how they move which has worked against them.<\/p>\nPSG Recent Form & Tactics<\/h3>\n
