In game week 11, newly promoted Ajaccio will face off against defending champion Paris Saint-Germain at the Stade Francois-Coty.

Ajaccio held Troyes to a 1-1 draw at the Stade de l’Aube last weekend after leaving matches at Marseille and Brest with six points each, either side of a home loss to Clermont. They are currently 18th in the Ligue 1 standings.

During the 103rd Le Classique, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe demonstrated that their on-field chemistry is still strong as ever as PSG crushed their rivals’ title hopes with a 1-0 Parc des Princes victory. As a result, they currently lead the standings with 29 points.

Team News

Ismael Diallo, a left back, and Cyrille Bayala, a striker, are returning from one-game suspensions for Ajaccio this week. Both players have started every game this season and are eligible for instant recall.

Yoann Touzghar (ankle), Qazim Laci (hamstring), and Romain Hamouma (meniscus) are still out due to injury, and it is unknown if centre-back Fernand Mayembo will be able to compete against the champs.

Galtier’s defensive ranks have become thinner since Danilo Pereira left the field with “severe” hamstring pain 25 minutes into Le Classique, joining Presnel Kimpembe and Nuno Mendes on the sidelines.

Sergio Ramos also has one more game left to serve his suspension after getting sent off against Reims.

As a result, Nordi Mukiele and Marquinhos should be added to the back four, and because Neymar is absent, Hugo Ekitike can now get a rare start up forward.

Ajaccio predicted lineup:

Leroy; Youssouf, Gonzalez, Avinel, Diallo; Bayala, Marchetti, Coutadeur, Belaili; El Idrissy, Moussiti-Oko.

Paris Saint-Germain predicted lineup:

Donnarumma; Hakimi, Mukiele, Marquinhos, Bernat; Verratti, Vitinha, Ruiz; Messi; Mbappe, Ekitike.

Prediction

Ajaccio 0 -2 Paris Saint-Germain

Ajaccio has shown resilience, but Pantaloni’s team has a history of underwhelming in front of their supporters and is not at their best at home.

Friday’s game should see PSG’s straightforward victory, perhaps with a few goals in tow, even without Neymar and many defensive concerns.
