PSG v Angers: Paris line-up debate, Vitinha or Zaïre-Emery? | OneFootball

This Friday, during the 2nd matchday of Ligue 1 2025-2026, Paris Saint-Germain (2nd) faces Angers (7th) at the Parc des Princes (kick-off at 8:45 pm, broadcast on Ligue1+). Ahead of this match, the press has tried to guess the lineup that Parisian coach Luis Enrique will choose.

Le Parisien (4-3-3) –

Kvaratskhelia – Dembélé – Doué

Neves – Ruiz – Zaïre-Emery

Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos – Hakimi

Chevalier.

L’Equipe (4-3-3) –

Kvaratskhelia – Dembélé – Doué

Ruiz – Vitinha – Neves

Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos – Hakimi

Chevalier.

Given the squad, any lineup is possible. However, there are many uncertainties, with coach Luis Enrique always capable of surprising everyone. It’s clear that the media doesn’t really have any certainties. There is mainly one idea emerging, with here the return of a “typical starting eleven,” except for a possible rest for Vitinha. This makes sense after the heavy rotation on Sunday in Nantes, while the Portuguese midfielder was still a starter after Tottenham. Zaïre-Emery as well, but with less playing time.

But there is time to prepare and the competition during the week also matters, as well as details of the players’ physical management, which are all different and known only to the staff. We’ll have to wait for the official announcement about 1 hour before the match for any certainties.
