AS Monaco vs PSG: Predicted lineup for Champions League 1st leg Play-off clash

Paris are set to take on AS Monaco in the first-leg of the Play-offs of the Champions League at the Stade Louis II. Luis Enrique's men will look to bounce back from their frustrating 3-1 away loss against Rennes as they lost the top spot in Ligue 1 to RC Lens.

For this game, the Spaniard coach will still have to do without Fabian Ruiz and Quentin Ndjantou who are recovering from injuries.

Here is Les Parisiens' predicted starting XI against Monaco.

PSG Predicted Lineup vs. AS Monaco (4-3-3)

GK: Matvey Safonov - The Russian is set to make another start for PSG as they prepare to take on Monaco in the Champions League.

RB: Achraf Hakimi - The Morocco international is slowly getting back into the fold after his long absence from the club due to injury and AFCON.

CB: Marquinhos - The Brazil international will get back into the starting lineup after being rested against Rennes. Many fans will hope that he will have a better performance than Zabarnyi.

CB: Willian Pacho - The Ecuador international will start against AS Monaco and will likely partner Marquinhos for this important European game.

LB: Nuno Mendes - The left-back is simply the best player at his position since last year. He is rarely beaten by the opposing right-winger and is a formidable force when going forward.

CDM: Vitinha - Vitinha is a crucial piece of Luis Enrique's system and never misses a game while delivering top level performances. He has been the only consistent performer of the club up to this point this season.

CM: Warren Zaire-Emery - The France international is one of the best surprise this season for PSG. Hakimi's injury has been the catalyst of his great form this year.

CM: Joao Neves - The Portuguese midfielder has not been at his best in recent weeks despite his incredible start of the season. Hopefully, he will be able to deliver another great performance and help his side bounce back from their disappointing 3-1 loss against Rennes.

RW: Bradley Barcola - The France international is one of the most in-form player of the team at the moment, despite his great lack of efficiency in front of goals. Luis Enrique will need him at his best against Monaco as Paris defend their crown.

LW: Khvicha Kvaratskhelia - The Georgian star should start on the wing for PSG in this crucial game, hoping to deliver another astounding performance on the big stage and help his side secure a spot in the round of 16 of the competition.

ST: Ousmane Dembélé - The 2025 Ballon d'Or is slowly getting back to his best level in terms of goalscoring since the beginning of the year and will hope to lead his team to victory against Monaco.
