Luis Enrique’s team comes into this game after a high-energy encounter against Bayern Munich in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final.
PSG have been in strong form overall, sitting at the top of the Ligue 1 table with 69 points. They have won four of their last five matches in all competitions, including a convincing 3-0 win away at Angers on April 25.
Although they suffered a narrow 2-1 loss to Lyon earlier in April, they quickly responded with back-to-back 3-0 victories and an exciting 5-4 win over Bayern.
PSG will field a heavily rotated squad for this match as Enrique focuses on keeping players fresh for the upcoming Champions League fixture.
The defense is weakened, with Achraf Hakimi ruled out due to a hamstring injury and Illia Zabarnyi suspended.
In goal, Lucas Chevalier is unavailable with a thigh problem, and with Matvey Safonov likely to be rested, 19-year-old Renato Marin could make his Ligue 1 debut.
In attack, Goncalo Ramos is suspended after receiving a red card in the previous game, while Quentin Ndjantou remains out long-term.
On a positive note, Fabian Ruiz has returned from a knee injury and is expected to start again to build match fitness. Enrique may also turn to young players such as Senny Mayulu and Ibrahim Mbaye as part of an experimental lineup.
Possible PSG starting XI: Marin; Zaire-Emery, Zabarnyi, Pacho, Hernandez; Beraldo; Neves, Kang-in; Mayulu, Barcola, Mbaye
The match will kick off at 4pm BST on Saturday, 2nd May.
For viewers in the United Kingdom, the match will mainly be available on the official Ligue 1+ streaming platform.
