Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) will be aiming to extend their impressive form when they face Toulouse in Ligue 1 on Saturday night. Under the guidance of Luis Enrique, PSG has been in scintillating form, dominating both domestically and in Europe. With their stunning 4-1 victory over Monaco last weekend and a 3-0 win against Brest in the Champions League, they have shown they are unstoppable at the moment.
Sitting 10 points clear at the top of Ligue 1, PSG looks poised to continue their winning streak. Despite their commanding position, Toulouse represents a potential challenge. After all, Toulouse was the last team to defeat PSG in the league, back in May of last season. Enrique's men will be eager to keep their unbeaten run alive and push for the coveted achievement of completing an entire Ligue 1 season undefeated.
PSG’s Impressive Form and Key Players
PSG has been exceptional this season, with key players such as Ousmane Dembélé leading the charge. The forward has been in sensational form, scoring 18 goals in his last 11 appearances, and Enrique will be keen to keep him firing on all cylinders. Other notable players like Gonçalo Ramos, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and Lee Kang-in may also make an appearance as PSG looks to extend their dominance.
In defense, PSG's backline has been solid, led by Achraf Hakimi and the highly-rated Lucas Beraldo. With Gianluigi Donnarumma between the posts, Toulouse will find it challenging to break down the Parisian defense. The only injury concern for PSG is young midfielder Warren Zaire-Emery, who is sidelined with an ankle issue. However, with a strong squad available, Enrique will look to field a full-strength lineup.
Toulouse’s Struggles and Injuries
Toulouse, on the other hand, is going through a rough patch. They are currently without a win in their last five Ligue 1 matches, having lost momentum after a solid start to the season. Sitting 10th in the league table, Toulouse is a team in transition, and they will need to dig deep to halt PSG’s rampant progress.
Injuries have compounded their woes, with key players like Josh King, Yann Gboho, Rasmus Nicolaisen, and Djibril Sidibé all unavailable. Teenage goalkeeper Guillaume Restes has been dropped after a series of poor performances, and Kjetil Haug is expected to continue in goal. Toulouse will need a significant improvement in their form if they are to take anything from this game.
Toulouse vs. PSG Prediction:
With PSG’s current form and Toulouse's struggles, it is hard to see anything other than an away victory for the Parisians. Toulouse’s defensive issues and lack of form suggest that PSG will continue their charge towards the Ligue 1 title with a comfortable win. We predict a 3-1 victory for PSG.
Toulouse’s Possible Lineup:
Haug; Akdag, Cresswell, Suazo; Messali, Sierro, Casseres, Donnum; Babicka, Magri, Aboukhlal
Paris Saint-Germain’s Possible Lineup:
Donnarumma; Hakimi, Lucas Beraldo, Pacho, Hernandez; Lee, Vitinha, Joao Neves; Dembele, Gonçalo Ramos, Kvaratskhelia
